Lyrical / contextual / regional / accuracy question:
If I use the phrase "gone off my/her head" in song lyrics as a person from Kansas, USA, is that going to be incomprehensibly British to my "average" listener (which is zero people, I know that, ok, I just crave CLARITY) or at best seem pretentious and jarringly out of place / context?Yea, yea, I know. Who cares.
I care about these things.
There's no excuse for sloppiness or ineffability just for the sake of "cleverness."
