I'm not tired of them at all! I find them fascinating. I love "pop it"--I might just use that with my kids. It sounds fun. :)
ReplyDelete"Embiggen" is a real word!?? I've heard it before, but always in the context of it being a made-up word. Huh, interesting.
ReplyDeleteThese up dates are fun for me to be learning the Americanisms as most of the Australianisms are terms we use in England.
ReplyDelete"Chilly bin" is a Kiwi-ism (New Zild, I think they call it). The Aussie/Strine word is "Esky". Just saying...
