Fantastic peek at your language. I've been reading some South African thrillers with a translator close at hand. In Pretoria, they see their films (pronounced fill -ems) at the local bioscope.
They are fab - I do like a bit of scots humour. A bloke up here, artist type did a calender of simlar ilk just using local names and dialect......if you're versed in Orcadian its quite amusing!
Star Wars, Gone With the Wind, The Graduate? Those posters remind me a little of the drinks coasters and place mats you can buy with explanations of some Scots/Glasgow words - Eejit, Scunner etc.
Got 'em (but I don't want to spoil the fun for everyone else)
ReplyDeleteI like how they mix in the terms 'movies' 'pictures' and 'cinema'!
I love these - got a good laugh!
ReplyDeletelove iy
ReplyDeleteThese made me laugh out loud. Thanks!

ReplyDeleteStar Wars, Gone With the Wind and Mrs. Robinson!
ReplyDeleteThink I have them all ('a) - very funny. My Dad used to talk about "going to the flicks"! Those were the days, a double-bill every Saturday.
