    This is a typical conversation among me and my flatmates in Chicago, trying to figure out what food order on Saturday night.

    Notice that the C’s room is connected to the kitchen.

    A: Guys! Come here, we have to order some GRUB otherwise we will eat al 11 pm!

    C: I can hear you from my room.

    B: Every NOSH is fine to me.

    A: BLOODY hell MATES! Don’t be TWO SANDWICHES SHORT OF A PICNIC. And you C, do you really want to be a CURTAIN TWITCHER at 23 yo?

    (B and C arrives in the kitchen pretty annoyed)

    A: TA!

    C: Okay, okay, here we are. Do you FANCY pizza?

    B: No, I’m not in a pizza mood today.

    A: I don’t want it to, we had pizza last week. What about sushi?

    C: Yeah! There is that restaurant close to Elena’s place that is THE BEE’S KNEES!

    B: It’s too expensive, PALS.

    A: Are you TAKING THE PISS OUT OF me? You said that “every NOSH is fine to you”!

    B: I changed my mind.

    A: BOB’S YOUR UNCLE. Ok, I’m KNACKERED, everything is actually okay to me. Let me know when you decide.

    (B and C discuss for like 40 minutes)

    C: Okay, okay. Pizza is fine.

    A(arriving): Pizza? I LOST THE PLOT, MATES. But B doesn’t FANCY pizza.

    B: We mean the deep dish. (A sort of pizza pie typical of Chicago)

    A: Deep dish is not CHEAP OR CHIPS. Okay, you know what? I don’s mind.

    C: JAMMY you! Because we ordered it before you come here.

    Thank you for the feedback!

    I noticed I did some typos.

    Your corrections are about to make the speech more natural or to correct some grammatical errors?
