INT. CLASS ROOM – DAY
A teacher is at a white board in front of a class of
international students.
ANNE: Welcome students, to “Introduction to British Slang”. In
this class we will dive into the rich tapestry of British colloquialisms.
LUCAS: (whispering to Sophie, who is sitting next to him) I've
heard British slang can be quite tricky.
SOPHIE: Oh, you'll catch on soon enough!
ANNE: (writing on board) First up: “Wobble Gobble”. This is
when you eat your food too quickly because it's just so delicious!
SOPHIE: (whispering) I've never heard that in my life.
LUCAS: (writing diligently) Wobble Gobble... got it!
ANNE: Now, “Twiddle Plonker”. This refers to playing an
instrument poorly.
SOPHIE: She's making
these up.
LUCAS: Twiddle... Plonk... Got it!
ANNE: Next, a classic! “Noodle Poodle”. This is when you’re
trying to eat spaghetti but it keeps slipping off your fork.
SOPHIE: Okay, this is absurd.
LUCAS: I've experienced the Noodle Poodle before! Finally, a
term I can relate to.
ANNE: Next one: “Chitter Chatter Batter”. Refers to talking
while cooking.
SOPHIE: None of these are real British slang terms!
LUCAS: Really? But they sound so... British.
SOPHIE: No, they’re not wiberty-woberty enough to be
authentic British.
Lucas is confused for a moment before noting that down.
