heh i dunno, i mean, it's definitely possible that that is used down south in london etc. i am not familiar with southern slang at all really, have never actually heard 'guv' or 'guvnor' used. but imagine it is in some parts.
may i suggest 'squire' instead? |

Is "craic" used in america? You have a lot of irish people, has this word survived over the years? I met a few australian people last year who had no idea what the craic was and never really fully understood the concept.

'craic' does my head in. Such an annoying word, yet everyone seems to use it now.
Yeti - what accent do you have? Edit - is 'does my head in' used in the US? Prob not. |

My girlfriend is from Surrey (south of London) and is always ridiculing Americans for thinking that Brits actually say 'guvnah.' |

It should also be noted that any American/Canadian using 95% of these words/phrases is going to sound like a complete idiot.
