Although you dont know him my frriend Tariq made me laugh recently, it is an indication of the slow yet steady assimilation of British Culture in our immigrant population.
His Mother had one of these phone calls and told him about it, he asked her what she did and said I asked the man , "Do I sound like a f****ng Moron?"
He was terribly shocked and told her he didnt know she knew terms like that and she replied " I get it from your Children, I think they use it as a term of endearment"!
Massive, terrif innit? Defo!
