And here was I thinking veriflycation was a pretty good description, mneme. Perhaps it's a male thing.

HAHAHA. That's pretty cute. My old Uncle-in-Law was a Scot. He would have loved this.

Yeah, we do have a droll sense of humour. That's one thing about Hogmanay, Pat. In Scotland the swash actually buckles - and slides down the wall with a glazed look on its face. A Happy New Year to you and yours, Pat_B, and mony may ye have.

You're right northsage, I know it all already, but repetition won't do me any harm. I'll keep it under my....er...behind the zip. Ell keeps thinking I check my zip to prevent her from becoming embarrassed in my comapny - as if!!! I check my zip to prevent my own embarrassment. Did you know that continual checking of a trouser zip has a title? Veri-fly-ca-tion.

I love Scots. The accent, the swash that buckles. The poets, the songs.
But mostly I love the humor. Here's wishing a peaceful, prosperous new year to you and Ell and all you love.

The only times I heard that expression, it was a description of ........MEl
Johnnie!
I loved this! I have always enjoyed the humorous suffering of others. For some reason however, it loses much of it's enjoyment value, if the suffering is mine.
Marilyn tells me that a lot goes right over my head, and I tell her, "You hear MUCH that was never really said!" If I exactly quote what was misremembered by her, she tells me, "Well, it means the same thing!" I rebut, "ONLY to YOU!"
Happily for both she and me, my problem is the exact opposite of what this poor fellow seems to have been self-conscious over. Oh, you too? It's a small world, isn't it, Pal? Well take my advice, keep it under your hat. ......Uh, let me rephrase that. Don't confide this physical deformity, to ANYBODY! Husbands all want to kick the crap out of you, the women all wonder just how.........What am I doing? You already know all this stuff by now, right?
