Healthcare: who pays when you are ill, sentence 11

People talk about it in all sorts of slang: a Scottish gran calls a child a "bairn" and the "wee" cast a small one, in Wales "lush" means lovely, an Irish dad says "grand" for fine, and a young American might call adult paperwork "adulting" and feel "salty" (annoyed) about a bill.

Who acts: People, Scottish gran, lush, Irish dad, adult paperwork · What happens: talk, call, cast, mean, say, feel · To what, where: sorts, child, small one, grand, slang · Speech: someone speaks here
