No Cashy….it is just the way it is….and there will be a lot of words in the dictionary that neither of us have heard of or come across.
Life is a learning experience.

Re: 2021 Neologisms
 

Because we can mate! English is a "monumental" language, our "profundity" to express ourselves with our "immeasurable" options, only found with our English "vernacular" are second to none!


Plus it totally screws up Johnny foreigner (and admittedly some of our own), all part of being British & because obviously God was an Englishman, he blessed us with such a divine aptitude for language. :D

Re: 2021 Neologisms
 

Now I don't think god was an Englishman, like many people from foreign lands he may wish he was but he ain't and here's the proof:-
He laboured for six days then rested on the seventh, well any upstanding British business man would have put out a tender on the first day employed the cheapest quote and rested the six following days.

Speculator - an online company that sends out glasses through the post.

Re: 2021 Neologisms
 

That at least guarantees he certainly wasn't froggish, I still reckon he was an Englishman though, but was probably hired on by a labour council, sort of worked for 5 days (lets face it looking at the state of the world, so screwed up it can only be labours doing!), double time on the 6th & was pished on the 7th so unable to work. ;)

Don't know what I'm doing half the time, this was originally a duplicate of the above, so a word of warning, drinking beer & nipping whisky while online has consequences.

Gingernuts! :D:D Do I really need to explain this one? Lets just say Harry & Ed Sheeran possess such artifacts.

Re: 2021 Neologisms
 

I don't often drink whisky, but just on a whim, I bought a bottle for christmas, a single malt seeing this post I thought why not? So I opened it early, all the whiskies I have enjoyed I would have a sniff at and there would be a niff of 'come on in the flavour is lovely', this one, when I breathed in the fumes, took me back to when I was about six full of the flu and finding it hard to breathe, a medicine supposed to do you good but was so awful even though your parents were suffering just as badly they didn't take it.

I finally took a swallow, it tasted just like that medicine, the whole of the bottle has gone straight down the drain, how can people sell such crap on the open market?

Re: 2021 Neologisms
 

You Sir, are a heathen, a vulgarian of the highest order! If as you say it was a single malt, it was obviously not one from a reputable house.


Wee McScrote distilleriers or anything outside of Scottyland & at a push the emerald Isle doesn't qualify or even quantify as A "Single Malt Whisky", so "Heil ye yon & beil yer heid!" ;)

Re: 2021 Neologisms
 

I admit it, it was a shameful purchase, know nowt about buying whisky, have always had it bought for me in the past.

Re: 2021 Neologisms
 

Because they know people will buy it.
Hateful stuff…devils wee wee…..yes son…that makes me a heathen.
I have to say I haven’t ever plucked up the courage to ever taste it….but if it smells rank…then why would you put it in your mouth?

Re: 2021 Neologisms
 

A dare, bet, money, or just drunken bravado, other options are available but lets try & keep within the bounds of social decency here. :D

[QUOTE=Less;1261581]I admit it, it was a shameful purchase, know nowt about buying whisky, have always had it bought for me in the past.

If you stick to the Rolls Royce of Highland Malts, "The Macallan" and the best from the Emerald Isle, Tullamore Dew", then you wont go far wrong but you will need a big cheque to pay for the big licks.
I tend to sample the odd one or two glasses in between a bottle or three of Hobgoblin, (but only at Christmas), that way they last a bit longer.

Re: 2021 Neologisms
 

Not bad choices there Tadmeister, but the "Mac" has gotten to big for its boots & is asking far to high a price for a reasonable Dram, I'd suggest the Glen Grant, Dalwhinnie 15 (Winters Gold is worth a look too) or even Glendronach for a reasonably priced drop from Scottyland.


As to the Oirish, the Jameson as advocated by "My father Dear" & from a real live Leprechaun I once met at a Whisky festival, "Oi wuden drink dat shoite, a proper drink is Redbreast!" I was reliably informed so, take that on board, if you will or not as the case may be. :D

Re: 2021 Neologisms
 

Nope…I am not drinking any of it…I would rather drink stericol (the stuff we used to use to clean beds, trolleys and other medical equipment) and blow bubbles out my arris.

Give me a good brew of Glengettie tea….but please NOT in bags.

Re: 2021 Neologisms
 

agree if its the scotch variaty you are talking about. do not mind the irish versions as they taste a bit softer. garlic, sprouts and scotch whisky must have all been invented in some chemical lab, but i suppose its each to their own.

Re: 2021 Neologisms
 

No….whisky is definitely a punishment…or maybe at best…nasty medicine.
Sprouts can be improved by cooking them to death…mashing them with pepper and some good streaky bacon.
Not too sure about garlic…but it does kill fleas.

Re: 2021 Neologisms
 

You must have excellent eyesight & a right good throwing arm if you can kill a flea with a bulb of garlic! :eek: :D

Re: 2021 Neologisms
 

And you ..... ! Can join less in the heathen & vulgarian gang! :D

But I agree with you on the sprouts bit. :D

Re: 2021 Neologisms
 

No….son…it is true.
Years ago the Italians who ran flea circuses found that if they are anything with garlic in it, when they put the fleas on their arms to feed….they died very soon after.
But if you haven’t got fleas you can eat as much as you like…you can have my share too…it is not my favourite.

Re: 2021 Neologisms
 

Ah, that then raises the question of whether or not it was down to the flavour of garlic or maybe the Italian? :D

Re: 2021 Neologisms
 

Do you know Son…I had not thought of it that way.

It throws a whole new light on ‘going out for an Italian’….now I know why it was never to my taste.

Yes…they are.

Re: 2021 Neologisms
 

I have tested the sprouts thing today.
Himself asked me not to cook them to death….so they were a bit underdone(for me that is)….can you really have sprouts that are ‘rare’….and no…I don’t like them.
For a very good reason.
I will be playing trumpet involuntary tomorrow from what is rumbling around in my gut right now.
I will need to stay away from naked flames as well!

Re: 2021 Neologisms
 

See! Sprouts is evil! If Whisky be the Devils widdle, Sprouts must be right up alongside it as the Devils hors d'oeuvre (the fact that that is a froggit word just doubles down on my conviction). :D

Marge, I grow up to 30 sprout plants every year on my allotment but only because Hazel loves them; when you mention "can you really have sprouts that are rare", then yes you can, I can not stand them cooked but I do eat them uncooked which is as rare as you can have them. Sprouts are only a variety of Cabbage that has multiple heads, (sprouts), if eated raw they simply taste like a solid/ ball headed Cabbage, my mates reckon that I have lost my marbles eating them raw but every one to their own.

Since when has Brussels been in France? is this another European conspiricy?
And here's me thinking that you were a man of the world Dave.:rolleyes::rolleyes:

Re: 2021 Neologisms
 

Yes I know that sprouts are part of the brassica family….and yes I know you can eat them raw…but why would you?

Not going to be having them al dente again…in fact I think that maybe I have eaten my last ever sprout.

Oh yes…did you know that sprouts are also part of the mustard family?

go to some restaurants nowadays and everything seems uncooked for me. the main reason we both stay clear of eating out nowadays apart from in little cafes where things are cooked to our taste. i do not want quarter cooked veg or meat that is half raw, just sick of arguments with waiters and sending stuff back for them to finish the cooking.

Re: 2021 Neologisms
 

I most certainly am my dear Tadmeister, the "Froggit" I was referring to was of course the phrase "hors d'oeuvre", which of course you know means a small savoury / starter / nibble

Furthermore to your question of Brussels being in France, for a short period under Napoleon the 1st it was (see below), that was until "Nosey" (Arthur Wellesly 1st Duke of Wellington) & his forces showed "Boney" his own hoop at Quatre Bras (Belgium) then on the 18th June 1815 at Waterloo. Brussels then became a part of the "United Kingdom of the Netherlands" ;)

Following the Brabant Revolution (1789–90) against the government of Holy Roman emperor Joseph II, the French republican armies made their appearance, and the Belgian principalities were annexed to France. During the Napoleonic era, Brussels was reduced to the rank of chief town of the French département of the Dyle, losing in addition all authority over its satellite villages. (See French revolutionary and Napoleonic wars.)

The above paragraph was taken from Britannica.com, although I did have a broad idea of the military implications & power struggles in europe at this time.

Every day a schoolday on here mate, we're never to old to learn something new or at least review what we already thought we knew. :)

Re: 2021 Neologisms
 

Not to my knowledge bud, but I'm pretty sure they'll have a sossy equivalent to the famed "Deutsche Bratty". On my travels I have been to Slovakia (delivering to the Skoda works) & was in Bratislava, got there late & left early so didn't get the chance to socialize or mooch unfortunately. :)

Re: 2021 Neologisms
 

I think perhaps you should be grateful….these foreign places are full of foreign ‘muck’ food.
I have a list of foods that I have looked at….some of them I was daft enough to try(and was too polite to spit out)….but will never make that mistake again.
Haggis falls into that category….spouts are a new addition.
I get this trait from my dear late father..

belgium did not exist till 1830 after a revolution from the controlling dutch who only took control after the napolionic wars. an odd country really with half speaking one language and the other a different one.

Re: 2021 Neologisms
 

Ah, but some of that "foreign muck" can be surprisingly pleasant, just so long as you get fair warning beforehand as to what it contains. Added to that, my curiosity would already have killed about 117 cats by now but here I am, still living & breathing. :D

Re: 2021 Neologisms
 

Just as well it does exist (strange though they are) or where else could we go to give the "Germings" a damned good thrashing when they start getting uppity again? ;)

Re: 2021 Neologisms
 

Nope...I am not buying it.
My foray into such territory has left a nasty taste in my mouth...and yes it WAS from Food.

Perhaps instead you would prefer a good old English Bacon & egg breakfast
with just a touch of baked beans?

Asian, Asian & South American. I think we'd starve without foreign muck.

Re: 2021 Neologisms
 

am sure i would not. you may less but not this kid.

Re: 2021 Neologisms
 

Cashy you might just, we all eat muck that originated on foreign shores we've just adapted it to our own tastes.

Re: 2021 Neologisms
 

well i have an english breakfast the only thing i do eat is sweet and sour what the boss makes usually with chips.cant think of owt else that resembles foreign rubbish.

Many thanks to Dave and M.H. for improving my knowledge of history, As you so rightly say Dave "you are never to old to learn"; you have now imparted a little more into a brain that will be 75 years old in about six weeks time. (more to remember when I have to go for memory check at the local G.P.s surgery, Mrs Taddy reckons that my old memory cells are failing, maybe it's because I very rarely remember to buy her an anniversary card; but then again maybe its because I am a lifelong member of the "Tightarsus" religion.

Re: 2021 Neologisms
 

when i,m back up in hartlepool we go to a little cafe run by a thai lass. she cooks english as well as genuine thai stir fry. funny how its really tasty with no hundreds of herbs to spoil the taste and no sodding garlic. she does chips with it as well as rice for the northerners.

Re: 2021 Neologisms
 

[QUOTE=cashman;1261780]well i have an english breakfast

i have one but just one a week from a little transport cafe down the road. 4 quid including tea or coffee and free re fills. it would be over double that for one from a poncy restaurant with wide open spaces on the plate and tomato,s with sodding wood stalks on em. where did that come from anyway. putting something on a plate you cannot eat. plus i would get a dirty look for my cheek of asking for well done bacon.
