Extra bits and bobs: Favorite British descriptive words: Lovely, brilliant, nice, and quite (which really means something more like extremely and completely). Oh, and also proper and smart – often used together. The other day, my flatmate was on the Tube. Sitting across from her was a little boy, about 7 or 8. His mother was styling his hair, and when she was done, he asked his mom (or should I say mum) how he looked. She had him stand up on the seat to see his reflection in the window. His response: “Well, I look PROPER SMART!”
