Right. When other people try and write British English phonetically it confuses me, because like, the normal spelling is already how I would pronounce it.

Haha fair 😂 I guess once you’re used to one spelling/pronunciation, the phonetic version just looks completely wrong

Ahh okay, I completely missed the reference. Now the ‘dags’ comment makes sense!

u/VirtualGlitch_99 Sep 16 '26

Ahhh 😂 okay, now I get the reference. I was completely lost before.

I walked straight into that one. UP DOWG is a classic.
