'gert' Or 'girt'

Try saying that when you've had a few  shifty.gif

Which reminded me of trying my favourite after a few wine gums:

Me husband is a keeper, he's a very busy man,

I try to understand him and I help him all I can,

But sometimes of an evening I feel a trifle dim,

All alone and plucking pheasants when I'd rather pluck with him.

I'm not the pheasant plucker,

I'm the pheasant plucker's mate

And I'm only plucking pheasants

Cause the pheasant plucker's late.

I'm not good at plucking pheasants, pheasant plucking I get stuck,

Though some peasants find it pleasant I'd much rather pluck a duck,

Oh, but plucking geese is gorgeous, I can pluck a goose with ease

But plucking pheasants is sheer torture, for they haven't any grease.

I'm not the pheasant plucker,

He has gone out on the tiles,

He only plucked one pheasant

And I'm sitting here with piles.

You have to pluck them fresh, if they're fresh it's not unpleasant,

I knew a man in Dunstable, could pluck a frozen pheasant.

They say the village constable has pheasant plucking sessions

With the vicar of a Sunday 'tween the first and second lessons.

I'm not the pheasant plucker,

I'm the pheasant plucker's son,

And I'm only plucking pheasants

Till the pheasant pluckers come.

My good friend Godfrey's most adept, he's really got the knack,

He likes to have a pheasant plucked before he hits the sack.

I try and lend a helping hand, I gather up the feathers,

It's really all this pheasant plucking keeps us here together.

I'm not the pheasant plucker,

I'm the pheasant plucker's friend,

And I'm only plucking pheasants

As a means unto an end.

Me husband's in the woods all day, a-banging with his gun,

If he could hear me heartfelt cries, then surely he would run,

For I've fluff in all me crannies and there's feathers up me nose,

And I'm itchin' in the kitchen' from me head down to me toes.

I'm not the pheasant plucker,

I'm the pheasant plucker's wife,

And when we pluck together

It's a pheasant plucking life!

I think it's 'gert'.  It always sounded like that in Knowle West ... but here in Romania ... hmmm I just don't know anymore ...

Why are Romanians saying 'gert' (or 'girt' or 'gurt' - personally I think it's 'gert') to you?

Are you teaching them to speak Brizzle?
