Perhaps the people at the next table are misbehaving from too much champagne ;-)<br /><br />I love the list of British slang phrases, Lisca. Many of them have snuck into US English (e.g. gobsmacked, easy peaasy, wonky, bespoke, tad). I had a giggle over some of the more colorful ones and knew others from watching British TV and movies. The Brits do film better than Hollywood these days!<br /><br />Your cake pops look lovely. I hope they freeze well.<br /><br />I don't procraftinate. I wish I could. I procrastinate my art and craft time with all the other things that I HAVE to do.<br /><br />Happy T-Day!

I was look forward to seeing your newest postcards- all the words in the list were interesting, even here in the states we moved from the midwest and retired in a more southern state and the meaning of words sometimes are quite different here too.<br /> I don't like reading books like that watching movies tv like that-but I can understand how you can appreciate good writing by the author.<br /> Your cake pops look so fun Happy T Day hugs Kathykathyinozarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01644138355524729156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6549829449802315358.post-64703345130349554952017-06-27T20:13:54.942+02:002017-06-27T20:13:54.942+02:00A delightful post dear friend!

So that popular song from a few years back that had the phrase "pissing the night away" really meant 'drinking the night away?!' lol. I think drinking and visiting the loo pretty much go together! and who knew there could be so many euphemisms for private parts!? ha ha... But my favorite is Procraftinating! that's me for sure! happy T day!

Lots of them make sense if you think about them. They are always quite creative but work for what they are saying! And your cake pops came out amazing. I've never tried them. I bet the kids will love them when they get them. :) Happy T day Lisca.

The British slang made an interesting read too, I may start to compile a list of words that I know to share ... lol ... thanks for the inspiration 😉. The cake pops are so much fun and it was a great idea to freeze them, I'm sure the children will love them. Your use of the term Bob's your uncle made me smile too! Wishing you a Happy T Day!

I read down your list of words there are so many, we all take as part of our lives and never think others may need them explaining.<br />Your pop cakes looked lovely, freezing is a good idea, the children will love them<br />Have a Happy T day<br />Yvonne xx.<br />p.s.

It's a standing joke at my place, because I'm about as British as they come.<br /><br />More you might like to add to the list: <br />Holiday- we call vacation.<br />Boot-trunk of the car<br />Boot sale-sold out of the trunk of the car<br />Bonnet-engine area<br />Lift-elevator<br /><br />I thought chuffed meant pleased/happy, but I can see where it might mean proud, too. Yes, I'm very British, but I speak American!<br /><br />LOVE the two postcards and the stamps. That one with the milk was incredible, but the postcard of the woman drinking tea and alcohol was fabulous. Of course, now I want some chocolate, too.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your baking, your British English to American English, and your lovely drink related postcard and stamps with us for T this Tuesday. Simply wonderful.<br /><br />Forgot to mention, I'm not a fan of tattoos, either. I was raised by a grandmother (grandfather, too) who thought they cheapened a person. Ironic how some things influence your prejudices years and years after the fact.
