Scarn on guys? Are you confused when someone says this to you? When does something sound different to how you think it should be said? What's going on with that? Ahhh. Now you get it. Scarn on is an Australian way of asking "what's going on"? This is an example of "elided" speech. You are probably already familiar with some examples such as fish n chips, or gonna do. It's a key component of understanding spoken English. We talk about this phenomenon in different languages as well. We also talk about how understanding current events can also help us to understand changes and the context behind certain slang. And that's what this episode is all about, offering you our listeners an extra way of learning with us. You might have noticed a little feature available to subscribers and members recently.
