we interrupt regular programming for some bushisms
3 Dec
Since I was back at Kyebando wrapping up some stuff today, I wasn’t able to post the usual stuff, but while murking around in webspace, I found this brilliant collection of bushisms.
And we thought this stuff only happens in countries where English is almost a third language.
Enjoy.
