I've just hit a passage in the WIP where the *precisely* right remark forI think my generally favorable response to this unknown phrase comes from
Prince Charming to make is, 'I should cocoa!'. Most Londoners, at least,
will know instantly what this means, and it's fairly apparent from context
that it is an emphatic agreement; but I'm not sure how widely it's
familiar, and I'm curious as to how transparent/gibberishish it appears to
my fellow groomers of cats.
the fact that it sounds like something Prince Charming should say. I hear
it in a fay and slightly manic tone.
Panto! That's it! Thanks for mentioning Prince Charming. I'm sure I've heard the phrase used in panto. :)
