A news reader this morning (on radio live) was going on about a spare fisherman. It seemed a strange concept until I realised she meant a spear fisherman. So what began apparently in Porirua has now spread to the news media. The vocoid glide as in beer has shifted to bear.
It is among the young and beautiful that you must listen out for this phenomenon.
I heard an Australian news caster (channel 9) talking about some far farters. That got my imagination running wild, until I realised the context was bush fires. It was all so very Kath and Kim.
Kim wants to be rich so the dialogue goes:
KIM: 'I wanna be effluent, mum, effluent!'
KATH: 'You are effluent, Kim!'
