Talking the talk with @Adrienne65. (Original video)

I realise that I’ve used the word, “vernacular,” twice in this video, depleting my quota for the next six months.

Transcription:

“On seeing a recent entry, one of my regular correspondents said to me that I sound, ‘Rather posh for a Dundonian,” Dundonian being the vernacular for a resident of Dundee, Scotland.

“If I did talk like a native, and I never have done but I understand it, but if I did talk like a native, I might say, ‘Ehh et twa pehs, a plen ain an’ an ingin’ ain,’ which translated, says, ‘I ate two pies, a plain one and an onion one.’ So just be thankful I don’t talk like that all the time.

“And my sign-off, in local vernacular, would be, ‘Kerry oan.”
