On the basis of my blogging, text messaging and emails, my phone is learning to speak my language.
When I write “go to”, the phone suggests the following words to continue the phrase:
1. Fuck yourself
2. Hell in a basket
3. Psychologist
When I write “crazy, the phone suggests:
1. Russians
2. As fuck
3. Expensive
When I write “stupid, the phone suggests:
1. Sheep
2. As fuck
3. Russians

“Hell in a basket” sounds cool. I’ve never heard it before.

I have a tendency to speak in a very quirky way in all of my languages, so I find these funny and maybe slightly outdated expressions to mark my own personal style.

You have a pretty wide vocabulary. I learn a lot of new words and expressions on your blog. In fact, I learn much more here than in the English conversation class I attend and is held by a native teacher. Unfortunately, she’s not really thrilled about teaching low status immigrants, looks at her watch every 10 minute and sometimes says “oh, we still have 20 more minutes”. Your blog is a better investment of my time :).

I have heard “to Hell in a handbasket,” but never “to Hell in a basket.”

I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t modify my favorite expressions. 🙂

I assume the thing has a link from “vile” to “freakazoids”
