Jacqueline Wilson-isms

The iconic lingo her books had! Now whenever I read the words and phrases “heaps”, “terribly”, “cow”, “ever so much”, “can’t stick [thing]”, “don’t let’s”, “twit”, “twee”, and especially things like “jolly hockey sticks”, out in the wild, I’m immediately taken back to reading them. It’s so funny how she had us all speaking like 50s schoolgirls, lol. Felt like I was about to put on my straw hat and take the 11 plus.
