I've found that hanging about you folks, what folks you are, has resulted in my having a few additional words and expressions in my daily vocabulary what I wouldn't have otherwise.  "Gosh" and "sure" being the most obvious ones (though 'gosh' is pretty harmless, I find that 'sure' has to be handled quite delicately).  Also 'waffle', of course.  Can't think of any others off-hand, but there must be many. 



Good job there's a list of banned naughty words on this forum, otherwise I might have become a fantastically vulgarer person during my time here.

I've started using "no wuccas". Shocked

And I have to be very careful about slipping in "snatch" in day-to-day life.....

Wha'? Me?
I have to watch out for slipping in 'custard', myself.
Also, I almost called my mother 'Mummers' the other day.  Grin

Why, who do you call 'Mummers' on this forum???

Oi've been to Italy, Spittaly, France & Spain
Round the world and back again,
Over me shoulder I carries a pan,
Now don't you think oi'm a jolly old man?

Alas the duties of employment will be keeping us from industrious snatch-hunting in the next few days so alas there will be no lapping in this quarter for a little while yet!

Out of context, that's quite entertaining.

Whatever do you mean Mr Harmony²?  Wink

Glad to hear 'no wuckas' (as I spell it but hey, if you want to go for two cs no wuckas...) is achieving a little more currency!

It's strictly speaking a TOP thing but I do still use bugler and carp (and my old favourite crèpe) to deputise for certain expletives...

In the 'real world', ahem, I find myself saying "Cripes" and often substitute a written "bluddy" for "bloody. Carp often appears as well. I place the blame firmly on the MBs! Grin  I'm still waiting for the opportunity to introduce "bear flavoured shame" into a conversation but I think I might receive some rather quizzical looks, even concerned, looks Cheesy Cheesy

interesting adj - music which I dislike, but don't wish to be the first one who points at the King's New Clothes
