Benjamin_Nevis Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 I was definitely an adult before I realised that news reports of "A 35 year old man is helping police with their enquiries" didn't mean that some publicly-spirited 35 year man had wandered into the police station to see if there was anything he could do to help. ^^^ helped police with their enquiries at the age of 35 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps I was just overly excited about trying some new exciting-sounding cuisine, but you can imagine my disappointment when I was given cheese on f***ing toast for breakfast. You'd have been even more disappointed if supermik had been staying there as well - it would just have been the toast. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebanda's Handyman Services Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 I once read in FHM that women were right into confident men. Armed with this fail-proof information, I told this barmaid that I had my eye on that she fancied me. She didn't fancy me and I still cringe 20-odd years on at her reaction. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fullerene Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 5 hours ago, RockMusic said: The correct expression is welsh rabbit. Rarebit was added by toffs who didn't want to be associated with cheap rabbit meat. Welsh was added to nouns to mean a cheap or poor version of something ie: using your fingers to straighten your hair was using a welsh comb. Cheese was seen as a poor substitute for meat (rabbit, or otherwise), hence the name welsh rabbit. On a similar idea, many people think lunch is an abbreviated form of luncheon. Again, this is wrong - toffs wanted to make boring old lunch sound posher and created the ridiculous luncheon. For me, the terms toffs and posh describes people who vote Tory, send their children to private schools, have a chateau in Switzerland, a timeshare in the Maldives, executive membership to the local golf club, regular visits to some club that still debates whether women can be members, tributes to whoever has just been born and is ninety-seventh to the throne, still getting Christmas cards from the laird of some estate that represents the dukedom of some county that no longer since regionalism. Now you are saying it simply boils down to how you describe your cheese on toast. Mind-blowing! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
