Sorry, MMM - I thought you were joking!
A wag = a witty person.
Maybe we should start a dictionary corner for explaining terms that don't necessarily travel beyond borders. I've heard a few up here I could do with having explained!

That's probably a very good idea... it's funny how just a few miles can change the meaning of a word considerably let alone country to countryGreen Aura wrote:Sorry, MMM - I thought you were joking!

Re: What small thing have you looked up recently?
There is one called urban dicationary. The problem is that there is such a huge amount of difference between what people in different areas mean by the same term. For example, there are currently 28 different suggestions for 'wag'. No. 22 says, "To shake one's penis at another person"StripyPixieSocks wrote:That's probably a very good idea... it's funny how just a few miles can change the meaning of a word considerably let alone country to countryGreen Aura wrote:Sorry, MMM - I thought you were joking!

Re: What small thing have you looked up recently?
I look up how to spell things at www.onelook.com all the time.
I looked up info on MRI's and brain tumors, don't know if that's what I have but it seems more likely as time passes.
I looked up snails, how to use them as living pond filters, and how to eat them.

No the bit about being a dirty spammer - I used the words p o r n site - I presume it's a proscribed word. I thought that only applied to words like T***o!

After having my first successful year with Butternut squash the OH needed a recipe. Found one on the net for butternut squash and carrot soup. Absolutely great, plenty in the freezer now for the winter.
