Hiya Wildtwin

Thats a new one on me - dont think that particular bit of slang has crossed the ocean yet. No wonder your partner did a double take lol

Hi Willow, Wild twin is right  some slang words certainly do have other connotations, particularly in this part of the world, which reminds me of another recent topic about accents,

I was pointed in this direction by a Friend a few months ago..  but only got as far as peeping last time..

Nothing personal i can see what a nice lot you are.... but at the time.. trying to find a few crumbs of my tree seemed beyond me..

Must be feeling more confident now  it seems I've taken the plunge..
