When writing/using hare dialect, be prepared to use the ' key a lot. The g at the end of a few words, for instance, singing, will often be replaced by '. So then singing will become singin'. To often becomes t' so the phrase 'to you' will become t'you. This also happens sometimes with you become y', do becoming d', and the becoming th'.
Females are referred to as gels and males as chaps. Sometimes lad and lass are used, but most of the time it's gel and chap. Blighters are usually used on Dibbuns.
The word wot (sometimes it is doubled to 'wot wot') is placed at the end of the sentence. For example: 'I say, what a jolly wheeze, wot!' Don't use it too much, though. Once every four sentences should do it. Wot can also go at the end of questions, for example: 'Exactly where d'you think you're going, wot?'
Bally, jolly, flipping, blinking, and blooming are usually placed in front of nouns. For instance, 'the bally apple'. If you want to place it in front of a verb, make sure the verb is past tense. Also, I suggest using 'bally well' instead of just bally. So instead of 'bally ran' it would be 'bally well ran.' The words flow more easily that way.
Spiffing is somewhat like bally, jolly, etc, but a bit different. Spiffing does not ever go in front of a verb, past or present tense. Spiffing sort of means 'good' or 'fun'. If you put spiffing in front of a noun, make sure the noun is something that the character likes. For instance, 'spiffing vermin' wouldn't exactly sound right. Spiffing also doesn't have to go in front of anything. For instance: 'A food fight! Spiffing!'
