Good point. It shows what 'cultural isolation' can do to a people. Dotard is a long forgotten word, hardly used. Kim obviously has an English Translation book that was printed in 1958

Dotard is a long forgotten word, hardly used.

Kim's use of Dotard did not surprise me, but I knew it was a literal translation from Korean.

Maroon is an ugly colour, so maybe it deserves to be mispronounced. I believe "marone" came to Australia with the bog-Irish.

In poetic English a farewell sometimes adopts the French "Adieu." Here in Queensland, it has become "A jew."

Vis fing you are talking about is essentially baby-talk, as is much diminutive abbreviation like, Brekky and Chrissie Prezzie.

I fought you'd never fink o' 'at one.... 1RAR view Fischer quite highly for organising the evacuation of the wounded at Coral. I hold no brief for him personally or any real view.
