when i was 18...we moved 10 or so miles to a new village just outside mansfield ....my new mates used the word " bride" meaning girlfriend....
so instead of saying is that your new girlfriend......they would say is that your new bride....
i had only ever herd the term meaning married ...f***ing weird
they called ferrets monkeys.....and mice moggys......where i had moved from cats were moggys not mice...
