I like the dead Welsh characters better when they are not talking about rapping.

My mom and I were just discussing how much it bugs us when adults call each other some variation of mom or dad in front of their kids. It's one thing to say, "your dad will be home late" but it's just really grating to hear "dad, pass the salt."

Here in the darkest recesses of north east Scotland, any woman is always called a wifie, regardless of marital status, and old people can be called 'Father Simpson' or 'Mother Jones' (you use their actual surname, obviously). To be honest, I think Onstad's trip to Scotland is his main influence on how Ye Olde Welsh people might have spoken, though as I recall he never made it north of Edinburgh.
