MWoo7 Posted March 19, 2019 #4676 Share Posted March 19, 2019 (edited) The cat ate our mouse. Well that's what we think happened. The giant ginger didn't say so but that's probably what happened, we feed him too so well we don't know, he was just being a cat I guess. Here I'll put it in for you...

My Grrr !: since when has the phrase 'spits and spots' been an official weather term? Every time I hear a tv weatherperson say it I blush for them. It's something that Mary Poppins says, for gods' sake! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done lots of Grrrs at weather forecasts, but they're probably all on page 1! "Mist and murk". What the hell is Mist and Murk? Never mist, never murk. Mist and friggin' murk. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purrrpetrator Posted March 20, 2019 #4683 Share Posted March 20, 2019 When people flung their potty waste out of the window, they would shout “Gardez l'eau” [gar-day low]. That's French for “watch out for the water”. We probably get the word “loo” from this expression, although some people think it comes from “Room 100” which is what European people used to callthe bathroom.Feb 16, 2005 (I suspect the 'European people" who "used to call the bathroom" "Room 100" did so because, even tho they lived in a smoke-black shack, atwixt the rocky heath, suddenly having indoor plumbing made the place positively palatial... hence "Room 100"... still, it is infinitely easier to just say, "loo", rather than having to submit to differentiate between two two-syllable words, 'bathroom' and 'toilet', isn't it? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWoo7 Posted March 21, 2019 #4684 Share Posted March 21, 2019 (edited) Loo is so much better than well I just can't believe it, some people in certain fancy places, you wouldn't believe this AND THEY WON"T CHANGE ! using it no matter how much I make fun, THEY SAY TOILET ! "I must find the toilet now"... I'm like>>>"oh really? so much thanks fo r that note of cheer." Its never something polite like... the bath, a fresh room, are your facilities close by?, powder room ANYTHING BU T NOT TOILET ! """"" that's like saying *ding-ding on goblet glass* please excuse me I really must find the crapper! do go on! ENJOY ! " update: The above was the grrr. Other quick ponderings of profound insight, so in the prestigious Queen's tomes of proper and eloquent English weather of lingo/hocus-pocus/terminology are there differences of these spits and spirts oh what were they called? and the other ...brb. OH distinguished descriptions of murks, mists, spits or spats and spots of dribble? eh?!?!?!! Edited March 21, 2019 by MWoo7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a noun, not a verb, so an acceptable usage would be: "I've got the turtle's head, so I'm just nipping to the bog." 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purrrpetrator Posted March 21, 2019 #4689 Share Posted March 21, 2019 (edited) Nouns have been known to become verbs.... and that, with turtle anatomy tossed in, makes for an entertaining day... what country is that custom carried out? I should visit! However, that may be too much information, and therefore could be cumbersome, therefore there is "BOG!!"

purrrpetrator Posted March 21, 2019 #4691 Share Posted March 21, 2019 (edited) i know but along with 'toilet' one has to add "I must need navigate my way to the toilet!" or "toi-toi", if yer seriously uppercrust... i use it... With "bog" you'd only have to say, "I gotta bog" and navigate.... grrr at the folks who insisted, initially, that when you've got something to do, you can't simply depart their company without first announcing why and/or where you're off to! Is that a shaky relationship or what? Edited March 21, 2019 by purrrpetrator 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were to be engaged in a conversation (in the Weoley Castle Pub, for example) and you were to say "Bog" and walk away, your actions would be understood, and your return expected after a suitable time delay.

Given the extent of the patrons' alcoholism and liver disease in The Weoley Castle Pub, any excursion can be a challenge, and potentially fatal.
