I wanted to let everyone know that I sent PS an Amazon.co.uk gift certificate for £50. He said something about being "gobsmacked," and I called him "pear shaped," so I think we are even. :wink: Feel free to drop a reply here to offer him your thanks as well. |

Actually he said that he was "gobsmacked" about the gift card, as the Londoners would say it, and I responded that without his help the board would have gone all "pear shaped." That was just the only real piece of English slang I knew, and tried to figure out how to fit it in. |

Thanks guys. :D Hey, English slang could be a lot more difficult than that: ;) Here's some more, so tell me what they mean. :D (And those Brits on the forum, no telling them the answers! :lol:) "Apples and Pears"? "Trouble and Strife"? "Adam and Eve it"? |

Apples and Pears --> Up the stairs. "Trouble and Strife" --> The wife "Adam and Eve it" --> Believe it My late wife was English so Cockney Rhyming slang isn't a total mystery. ;-) She said she used to drive her mother bonkers because she wanted to learn a Cockney accent when her mother wanted her to focus on her elocution lessons. |
