O Despertar de Fanny Lye

The local accent in Shropshire and eastern Powys of the time was not recognisably "Welsh" or "West Midlands" in the way that might be expected today.

Among the linguistic anachronisms in the script are the following: Pee - to urinate: Although an old expression, the Oxford English Dictionary states that the term didn't come about until the eighteenth century, the century after this film is set. Shrooms - mushrooms with psychedelic properties: The first recorded use of this term in print was in Australia in 1977 Mixed emotions - a mid-twentieth century term describing ambivalence. Bleed out - to die due to blood loss: A twentieth century term with its origins in the United States (it is suggested that it was originally military jargon). Lose the attitude - An instruction meaning don't be rude: A late twentieth century term with its origins in the US.
