English as she is spoke.

List in the paper the other day of words which have been left out of the latest edition of the dictionary as not being in common usage anymore.  I was sad to see that among them was "charabanc" - I don't know about other parts of the country, but certainly round here we still talk about "catching the sharra" when we go on a trip.
