I saw that last night - Middle Wallop and almost bit that it was true!!! AHHH - so Grandad now becomes the FARCEUR!

Oh dear LLL, we do actually have a lot of genuine Wallops here in England

And not forgetting.............. Flash Bang Wallop

Just came across this one on another forum

deleterious

Perhaps those earwigs are deleterious to LLL's health

The earwigs run second to the wasp or hornets nest that I found hanging off a back eave! Geez those little guys are building those gray paper nests everywhere. Was able to knock it down and escape without getting stung. Am kinda allergic so am not at all happy about going near 'em as they're real deleterious to me. The 'kinda allergic' comes in in that if I'm stung it can take me 3 weeks to get rid of immediate swelling

And - Lower Wallop doesn't sound too bad from the URL. Not too sure about some of the other Wallops though

Got another NEW word! GOMEREL

Am thinking way back when I might have found a few of these concrete guys in my garden. Definitely don't want to be a gomerel

And did you know that GOMEREL is a Scottish word, I bet our Kya has heard of it.

Although I've heard of it it's not a word used in my area

Is gomerel at all related to Gnome? as in the notion that a gnome is foolish?

Not as far as I'm aware LLL, it just means foolish, if it were it would be spelled gnomerel

Ah yes! Now that you spell it gnomerel I recognize the word. Didn't dawn on me to add the 'n' but when I saw 'gomerel' I had to look it up however had I read gnomerel I'd of recognized the word. Funny what different one little 'n' makes!

Not a new word by any means but a word that I just hate the new context that it is used for.
'GUTTED' or to gut, is a verb. You 'gut' fish. I just hate the use of it as an adjective to describe someones feeling. Even politicians and sportsmen and 'the educated' are using it. "I'm gutted" is a phrase just too frequently used and I abhore it.
But, because it is used SO frequently, it will find its way into the Oxford dictionary......and so the beautiful English language will decline even further.

"I'm gutted" is occasionally heard here. Not too often but it does come out from time to time. The phrase I don't particularly like is "taking the ****" ..... I get it but really do that really really really describe? Course I don't like the continual insertion of the world "like" into everything either.

I'm really gutted, like, sorry like, was only taking the p**s

Awwww H - couldn't have said it better! )

Particularly on the BLUE there are SCIOLISTS who are SCIOLISTIC! Course there are none here!

With our vast collective knowledge on here Sciolisticism is absent from this forum

Absolutely!! NONE!

Are you WAGGISH?

No but my dog is
