    It’s an archaic word that pretty much fell out of usage in the 1800s. People don’t say it. It’s a word in very much the same way forsooth or something is.

    That’s why I downvoted.

      Fucksake man, can you genuinely not tell when someone is poking fun at you? Are you one of these types that need the /s, like the seppos do? 😂

        They were not being sarcastic.

        This is a common misconception from Americans who presumably just read some 300 year old poem or book in their English literature lessons and assume everybody still writes like that.

          They were definitely being tongue in cheek. No need to get your skidmarked knickers in a twist over a flippant comment.

          Might want to work on your reading comprehension old chap
