tsk tsk... got to know your rhyming slang... Henry the Third = turd, and if you did know that, then it is for the unenlightened


I got it. Poor Henry! :biggrin:

I will never ask for a Henry again - the chocolate candy bar sold in the US.

How about making a snack of these krinkle-cut French fries while throwing that cheeseburger and chocolate shake down your throat;

Really? I had never heard that. Is that true for all nuts or just peanuts?

Peanuts seem to be quite effective when cooked with water (steamed, boiled, stewed or in soup), the other nuts don't seem to have that "side-effect".

What "intelligence" or "side effect" is this?

NEGATRON, dude. But I can now see why you would think that. Plus, I don't have the right plumbing. The closest I could ever have come will have been when I passed a kidney stone that closely resembled a sea urchin. :surprise: :cry: :eek:

Oh, dear something (eg.a fly) has landed in my food. Dang.

That definitely throws the spanner in the works.

That's screwed that plan up/that has ruined that.

That guy is crazy

He'd better gimme another crumpling bugger all, else id be cheesed off.

I better get some more food (eg. a crumpet) or I will be very annoyed.

:biggrin:

Speaks for itself.

Interesting. According to the online British slang dictionary I used, a "crusty dragon" registered as a booger. :biggrin:

I guess I screwed up there.

Oooh that's a new one, I didnt know crusty dragon was a booger. I would have just said a piece of snot. :biggrin:

Thanx Math is Hard, maybe I can improve communication that way!

I think that's the only one I didn't know :wink:

But of course, us southerners have a much more sophisticated vocabulary, tentatively venturing to use sesquipedalian colloquialism whenever in the propinquity of educated discourse.

If you catch my drift.

What an absurd suggestion. Educated man, educated!

jimmy_p: Born in Essex (I am not proud of my heritage), raised near Cambridge and University in London - Kensington you know. I think that would put me safely in the 'soft southerner' category.

Oh, rather. Top hole to that one old bean. My humble abode is set up in a very soft and Southern most area of good old Blighty. Southampton doncha know!

Southampton eh? A splendid part of the world if you don't mind my saying so. I have a veritably sound aquaintance who originates from a vicinity not far from there and I must confess that they are most agreeable.

Uh, well, as long as it doesn’t taste like fish! :biggrin:

I'm not sure about the night of Ouzo and Greek dancing any time soon. Our nephew - -Tsu's sister's kid - was just stationed in Honolulu [military] and Tsu has been scrutinizing our Air Miles account with a magnifying glass ever since. So far, it looks like they will drop her off somewhere about 500 miles short of Hawaii! :eek:
