Thirty Seven Much

Tuesday, 27th July. Semliki Time: 09:06pm

Still feeling not-too-hot. These three Semliki colloquialisms cheered me up, though:

“Thankyus”: A phrase expressing gratitude to everyone, including oneself.
“Thirty seven”: ‘Satisfied’, when pronounced in the local accent, sounds a lot like ‘thirtyfive. If you’re more than satisfied, you are, therefore, thirtysix or maybe even thirtyseven!
“Three much”: A little more than too much.
