It sounds like something a 7 year old would say not a full grown woman. It must be a culture thing because I don't here anybody talking like that here. Nothing wrong with it I guess but its funny and slightly cute.

I have never heard a commentator or anyone else say aboot in my entire life.

I have never heard a commentator or anyone else say aboot in my entire life.

I have never heard anyone say aboot either until I watched the olympic figure skating

 

[scarletlee]

In Australia we say mum too, or mummy if you're younger. At the moment i'm getting called Mamma from my 1 year old

 

[Emily_G]

Well now that I really think about it it was more like "aboat" not "aboot", I still thought it was funny since we say "about" with the ow sound.

 

[Luke1993]

We also say trousers instead of pants...

 

[Generical]

Bumbag/fannypack can raise/lower some eyebrows

 

[Luke1993]

[LadyWench]

I think it's endearing.
