Spoken like a real Gronk! Nah, your cool.

I suspect it is just something we picked up from our British heritage, the whole slang thing.

Apple and Pairs, Up the Stairs - all that.

I do find it funny when some folks have been here for a few years and they have picked up all the slang. Someone I used to know had been here for 10 years but still had a very thick Italian accent. It was always a joy when he would bust out a sentence like "I took the mars bar up the Tulla but it was right chockers. All I wanted for a Chook!". Translated, "I took the car up the freeway but there was a traffic jam. I wanted a hot chicken."
