          Yeah, I assumed by origins the OP meant where you grew up.

          From PC's list, I would never say Butti or Mun as I don't live in the valleys but I might well be there now in a minute. Using the word Tidy and Lush is (unfortunately) part of our conditioning along with knowing the sounds to make during the anthem with out being able to spell any of the words or know what they mean.

              Oh, yes. I see.

              You're welsh?

              I've just had to re-adjust my image of you.
