Can you define "graft", as you use it here? The common definition is "the obtaining of money or advantage through the dishonest use of power and influence" [0], but that doesn't seem like what you mean.

Sorry, I'm a speaker of the Queen's English:

British Slang. work; labor.

That's not the Queen's English, HRH speaks RP.
It was tongue in cheek my friend. Thanks for nugget of knowledge though; I didn't know about received pronunciation.

Edit:

Tangentially, I happen to speak 3 languages and English is not my native language.
