1483103 2021-12-24 20:52:00 I notice that New World has been doing the same "Meri Kirihimete!" in all their stores and email advertizing. So much for an English speaking country. paulw (1826)
1483104 2021-12-24 20:52:00 And if that's too old for you, go back to the 1800s and say:


aerodrome acceleratorq airliner dashboard fuselage garage hangar limousine
motorway plane speedometer double-glazing, dust bowl, motel. Chunnel, pulsar, and stagflation infotainment. Dog-tag
Laser scuba automation television laptop Tivo Google (as a verb) Bromance Internet Selfie
Podcast Paywall Unfollow Blockchain Emoji

The Oxford English Dictionary records about 185,000 new words, and new meanings of old words, that came into the English language between 1900 and 1999.

Why aren't you complaining about that?

Those are English words not made up Maori ones.

1483105 2021-12-24 22:51:00 All words are made up at some point, why does it bother you so much?

It doesn't bother me at all. I just think that it is a load of rubbish!:waughh:

Yes, Muldoon said that. It was around about the time he said to Tipene O'Reagan "I knew you when your name was Stephen"
