<Li> On the go, To have something processing ("I've got an application on the go") or be in a relationship ("He's got some missus on the go") </Li> <P> (Some examples taken from A Biography of the English Language by C.M. Millward) </P> <P> Also of note is the widespread use of the term b'y as a common form of address . It is shorthand for "boy", (and is a turn of phrase particularly pronounced with the Waterford dialect of Hiberno - Irish) but is used variably to address members of either sex . Another term of endearment, often spoken by older generations, is me ducky, used when addressing a female in an informal manner, and usually placed at the end of a sentence which is often a question (Example: How's she goin', me ducky?)--a phrase also found in East Midlands British English . Also pervasive as a sentence ending is right used in the same manner as the Canadian eh or the American huh or y'know . Even if the sentence would otherwise be a non-question, the pronunciation of right can sometimes make it seem like affirmation is being requested . </P> <P> Certain words have also gained prominence amongst the speakers of Newfoundland English . For instance, a large body of water that may be referred to as a "lake" elsewhere, can often (but not uniformly) be referred to as a pond . In addition, a large landmass that rises high out of the ground, regardless of elevation, is referred to unwaveringly as a "hill". Yet there is a difference between a hill and a big hill . </P>
