    Welsh for cooking = 'Poppity'
    Welsh for Microwave = 'Poppity-ping'

    because I speak Welsh, fluently. It's my main language. I'm also fluent in English. The difference between the two is substantial.

    I assume that the OP is relating to sayings made by Welsh people rather than being in the Welsh language although a lot of those posted are just cliched misconceptions. Good old 'Wenglish' see isn't it?
