So how are all the Christmas Gifts coming along? I am trying to get an idea into some form that I can actually execute (in a good way ) but so far the idea outstrips my capability.

Ritzy, I was going to post that information, then decided against it, but glad you did.

Toddlers with a streaming nose are described as having a 'No. 11 on the top lip' , or the slightly more revolting is a 'No. 10' - ie they desperately need their nose blowing/wiping - ick.

And some used the word goober to describe what the stuff is that comes out of your nose.
I, too, am sure there are many but at the moment I can't think of one. We get into the habit of thinking that everyone knows the same words we do and so they don't seem strange.

Hmmm…. I'm thinking.

Here, a lug is a type of bolt or screw. You use a lug wrench to tighten it or to remove it. I am sure we have many unusual words too, but I can't think of anything except goober. It is another word for peanut. It is also a derogatory term to describe a silly, or unintelligent, person. As in "he is a goober" or "he is such a goober".

You are all a riot!

Thanks for making me smile!

You could always try making a silk purse out of a sow's lug

Is there any 'american' we should be learning whilst we are at it?
