I have a new pleasure to add: Using 'phut' as an expletive.
Experiencing a good night-time thunderstorm. There's just been one here but they were a lot more frequent in the '50s and '60s.
A follow-on from the last: florid and exuberant words.
Bamboozle, euphonium, badonkadonk, oleaginous, hornswoggle, sonorous... 'Exuberant' itself, for that matter.
Using singular verbs for "none" as it sure as heck isn't plural
Something I have inherited from my late dad is saying, for example, "none of them is even remotely competent". It genuinely gives me pleasure in a way that using the subjunctive in conversation no longer does.
(Phil) Similarly, Not inserting an intrusive "r", as in "Aston Villa is a football club."
