Slang?

A few weeks ago now Dave said he's heard our daughter say...

Its Black as...

or

That scary as...

or

Thats cold as...

And he questioned where she had picked this up from. I was not too worried as we mix with so many people in our little village and our family that I can't make sure everyone is using the 'right' words. Who is to say what is right anyway.

Then at the beach the other day Dave caught him self saying "The sky is blue as...." ;-)

So I've been asking my daughter when she says these words... "....as what?"

The sky is black as...

As what?

A cloak

I happen to like that one

His fur is rough as...

As what?

Grated chocolate (she's convinced our grey cat is brown....but I still like the choice of words)
