Okay, so I haven't recently been in the newspaper or on the telly or anything, but apparently I'm famous.
Today one of my students was wearing a shirt that says 'Justme' !! 
'Justme' was written in hot pink sparkles, so I gather she must have gotten through the unofficial fan club.
It's my favorite weird English I've seen here. What's yours? |

| I was delighted to see a 10 year old headscarf girl (with headscarf ma) in Kayseri a few years ago, sporting a sparkly t shirt which proclaimed, 'I just got laid!'. |

I once had a student who came in wearing a T-Shirt saying
'DO YOU WANT A B10W JOB'
(I bow down to your superior fame) |

| Btw, I joined your fan club but only on the premise that there is an open bar at your fanclub meetings. |

Actually, I'm not a joiner. But if there's an open bar, I'll come to every meeting too.
I once tried to explain to a student why she shouldn't wear a shirt that says 'hussy,' but she was really dumb and got confused in that petulant way so I gave up and decided it was probably appropriate.
Same for the one with a shirt that said 'Gold Diggah.' |

Was walking through Şişli and heard some teenage girls revelling in the English they had learned somewhere. They were giggling hysterically and asking each other, "Excuse me but do you have a sheeeeet?!"
Profanity needs good pron. |

Mines 'an' followed by 'the' and 'a' |

| I like 'the,' but only when it's followed by a vowel. 'An' is a close second. I don't really care for 'a' very much. |
