Oh lol, good write B&A. Well, I got to No.5 then fainted; recovered, then fainted again at No.9! doh!
Oohh, what you doing, knowing advanced defensive moves in S&M? I know really, I took a course on the subject. A very practical course! heehee.
No.4 Grotty? Should be Grotto? No-one will visit a grotty Santa. lol.
THANKS UNCLE STEVE ~ Pleased you got the MESSAGE 1066 and all that ! In Liverpool we called a GROTTO a GROTTY (as in EY GERL YER TAKIN' YER KISZ TER THE GROTTY THIS YEAR ~ ITS ARF A CROWN !) It is a play on words ! Every blessing BRIAN ~ Forever YOUNG !
So, at least back then like, we like, talked proper like. So, like, we understood like what peeps said like.
GOOD ON YER WACK ! Thanks Uncle Andy ~ BOY BRIAN !
Love it - I reacll some of the expressions little heard now:
you bug me
has someone blown off?
Baby
Groovy
cool man
bell bottoms
etc etc !!
THANKS UNCLE MIKE ~ Its surprising how words come and go all the time ! My Granddad thought a BIG MAC was a Raincoat and was amazed for a FIVER you could get ONE & some CHIPS for the CASINO and COKE for the fire !
Loved you list ~ one still hears those in Senior Circles ! Best for F * * T is a T R U M P very APT !
Yiours as always BRIAN
I LOVE THIS BIG BEAR ! Its 10pm here (home from an Evening Clinic) so my Working Week is OVER ! I'll send you a bottle of GRECIAN 2000 at least youre not going BALD like so many overworked MEN ! My MUM (who is English) uses some of those words : especially DUNGAREES ! Her MUM was a Land Army Girl. Words come & go but the naughty words like BU**ER remain AUSSIES use a lot of expletives more so than KIWIS and the MAORIS have a word for everything ! My fave was FLOPPY DISC as a lot of my Clients have back problems ! Muchos ABRAZOS y BESOS con Amor al la distancia :
Vostra ANGELA🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
Thanks ANGEL ~ You must appreciate that ALL TEACHERS are GREY by the time we are 35. Pleased you enjoyed the Words & My Definitions. Yes I've noticed AUSSIES tend to swear more the the KIWI's I always say CANADIANS are civilised Americans & KIWIS civilised Aussies ~ but dont tell anyone I said it ! Abrazos y Besos con todo de mi AMOR ~ BRIAN ~ BIG BEAR
I don't know about senior words. But some things that make me feel old, is I was talking to someone I'm close to, and we were talking about VHS, Cassette Tapes, computer games on Floppy Disks, and Vinyl Records and his little brother didn't know what any of that was! I almost fainted! This was entertaining to read, however. I loved the impromptu definitions.
THANKS CALI ~ Pleased you enjoyed it ! Words related to TECHNOLOGY go out of Fashion very quickly. Yours BRIAN (UK)
Hey these were funny!! I can think of "senior sayings" but not more senior words. Great job!
HOLA CHRIS ~ I will check your Poem. Ive been on the Coast at he weekend checking on coastal erosion. Nice to hear from YOU pleased you liked the definitions. WE have lots of quaint (outmoded) expressions for "Ladies with Child" such as "Up the Duff" "Bun in the Oven" etc don't know if you used those in the USA ? On a more serious not we were all delighted the DEMOCRATS have taken the HOUSE of REPRESENTATIVES which should put the brakes (through Checks & Balances) on some of TRUMPS wilder schemes like the MEXICO WALL etc ! Yours as always Abrazos y Besos ~ Tu Hermano BRIAN
We say "Bun in the oven" though expectant moms can be pretty sensitive to those things!
