Dear Colleagues,
What is the meaning of the following:
� �Hello my covey! What �s the row?
"Plummy and slam"

And one more thing. Which one is correct: mustn�t or musn�t

I looked them up in the dictionary but it didn �t help.
Thank you in advance.

Plummy and slam

It is cockney rhyming slang meaning � money and jam �. It means that everything is ok Thumbs Up Or something like that...

When you remove a letter, you replace it with an apostrophe.
You removed the O in not, therefore you replace it.

Must not= mustn �t

Thank you libertybelle. Really good site. But still there are some WS on this site that use musn �t instead of mustn �t.
Have a nice day!

I wouldn �t worry szamoca - I �ve seenn textbooks which use �musn �t � � someone obviously didn �t proofread them properly! Drives me nuts when trying to explain to my students!
