catch phrases and calling cards

[Sundae]

Bump.

I watched a classic Red Dwarf episode before moving to London, and caught it on satellite again just after I moved. It's called Backwards and as a minor plot point, two of the protagonists think they have landed in Eastern Europe. In trying to communicate with the locals they just add "ski" to the end of everything.

I got into the habit of talking to my cats like this - for my own amusement as they didn't really get the joke. This transferred into everyday speech for some words, most often being kipski for sleep (or a nap) beerski for drink and offski for going.

Today one of my colleagues asked another, "Are you offski?"
If there'd been more of me I'd have given a Mexican wave.
