Good Morning everyone

Morning, RJ

 

[Rj_1954]

That has a totally different meaning in Scotland so if you plan to visit you had best start studying your Scots dictionary and phrase books. A “piece” is a packed lunch! Think sandwiches, crisps, chocolate bar and an apple or you won’t get out of the airport!

I know that...nobody asks me.

 

[likes2watchU]

Maybe! That biscuit thing throws us for a loop over here also!

I recall most of the basics.
Chips - crisps
Boot - bonnet
Brolly
Chat up - slag
Need a primer for the rest.

Wednesday I tripped on the top step of a set of two, fell and fractured my left leg. Mrs Rj is always telling me to pick up my feet...
After six hours in the ER, all I got was a nylon leg brace and a shot of morphine.
I'm not going to be dancing anytime soon though...

Sorry potato chips in a bag! Should I start using photographic hieroglyphics?

The one that confuses me is the difference between the names for what us in the USA call a cookie

Who says?

I say! It's been a great morning so far! I just got the kids up (hopefully) I'll have to go make sure in a bit.

This sucks! I'm sorry that happened. I hope you heal fast!

That wasn’t quite what I was implying.

But very good to know!

 

[ImpishSeraph]

Count me in but no naughty American words I don’t understand!

Where's the fun in that?

 

[Wonderer67]

Poison ivy is not joke. You have to be careful with the clothing you wore too.

Yes, and animals. Only human skin is impacted by those oils.

When we cleared parts of our farm and also our property when we first got it, it was choked with poison ivy.

We were wiping down our boots with alcohol to break the oil and stripping naked and putting her clothes in a big bucket filled with mild detergent.

The showering w dish water.

Knock wood, I haven’t had a really really bad case in years.

And I’ve had some very bad cases…

 

[ImpishSeraph]

Quick… Green Acres trivia.

How did Mr & Mrs Douglass meet?

I can't believe I don't remember this. I should know this

 

[Rj_1954]

Omg..... be careful

I'm using my wife's walker to go to church today

Sorry “fun” what is that……I didn’t say no naughty words just ones I don’t understand! If you explained or demonstrated it might get around the problem…..lol

Slag is one of my favorite words in English/scottish/British isles use:

I think a slag is a person of loose morals. But also to slag someone off is to tell them where to go I think.

The Toy Dolls - Deirdre is a Slag

Oh no RJ. Are you getting some follow up visits. If it’s a break, make sure everything’s ok w your doc or an orthopedist.

A cookie is a particular style of biscuit over here. Everything else is a biscuit! My favourites are ginger nuts and hobnobs.

The Toy Dolls - Deirdre is a Slag

To slag someone off is to criticise them, usually behind their back. Otherwise you are getting there.

RJ hope you get over it. The Management did that and was out of the brace in about six weeks. Good luck
