Thanks for teaching me something new today! I should hang out with you more. LOL @Stephen Thorn thanks for that suggestion! My storm and strife loves Cary Grant. (Did I do that correctly?)

In that movie they said the slang was Australian, and along with Barnet Fair they used "bottles and stoppers" (coppers -- police), "tit for tat" (hat), "lady from Bristol" (pistol), "I suppose" (nose), "heap of coke" (bloke -- man), and "storm and strife" (wife). If you'd like to watch a good romantic comedy/drama, I recommend the movie. They run it on Turner Classic Movies on occasion, or maybe you can find it on VHS or DVD.
