It's worth getting into ahead of the release of the second one in a few months time
Depends on how you pronounce shire. Americans tend to pronounce it like the hobbit place when it's more like "shuh".
The language is called English, not Obesitese
(UK) All three are technically correct, but 1 and 3 are the most commonly used. 1 is casual and the most frequently said (mainly because it has fewer syllables and we humans are lazy).
Edit: Thinking about this more. Phrase 1 is what you would normally use when you desire something that is not shared with others, for example:
"I found this old slice of bread behind the sofa..."
"I want that!"
Or "This week's jackpot is 1 billion pounds!"
"I WANT THAT!"
Phrase 2 or 3 are normally used when you are expressing a common desire.
"I wish this skyscraper would just fall on top of me so I don't have to go to work tomorrow" "I want the same"
"I wish Uncle would stop drinking." "I want this too, but he is very thirsty."
Well that was a nice horrifying read
Canal boats were traditionally towed by horses alongside on the tow path, but the paths don't go through tunnels so it's feasible that this was what they did to get through
Chuffed is slang for very pleased in the UK. More specifically it's when something good has just happened to you that's causing you to grin uncontrollably like a lunatic.
As my crude father would say: "I'm chuffed to buggery!"
Although buggery is a bad thing on its own, when combined with chuffed it's like a +1 enchantment instead.
I met my wife in 2011, just before Tinder got big in our area. I remember our single friends being ecstatic when Tinder was first around, saying about how easy it was to meet people.
Many of them are still single and now well into their 30's. They talk a lot about wanting to find someone special, but they just swipe and swipe and swipe all day to no avail. Shit's bleak out there. And I just know that if I didn't meet my wife I'd probably be stuck in the same rut.
And they're still selling it on Steam. A game that they have no intention of finishing.
I would be a vegan but I just don't have the time or willpower.
I mean, the amount of time you have to spend bitching about other's dietary choices is exhausting.
The reputation comes from the US military being stationed in the UK during the height of WW2 rationing when there was an extremely limited list of ingredients to cook with. They were unable to associate a country under an attempted siege from U-boats with a reduced supply of food.
We do have a love of beige food at times, but it's essentially our version of chicken tendies.
