Talk:Blighty
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
You know, I'm not so sure about Blighty being "self-consciously archaic". Hmmm. Tough one. I'm only 28 and I see what you mean about it being "slightly ironic" but I think "self-consciously archaic" might be a bit strong. I like the term. I came here to see where it was derived from and was a bit surpised by the first para. Am I completely wrong? What does everyone else think?
I agree, Blighty is really a term of endearment, used by everyone. Ironic does not come into it at all.
The present article is quite long enough to explain a single word of slang. Why is it marked as a stub ? Johncmullen1960 13:12, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
- It was a lot stubbier when first so marked in May 2005. I agree that it is no longer so, so I have boldly destubbified it. Frumpet 01:59, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
