Meanwhile, DH has gone out into the rainy night to pick up DD from the station, home for a long weekend. We have a nice chunk of fatted calf (ok, sirloin roasting joint yum) in the fridge for tomorrow even though she's not remotely prodigal.Smile

According to Collins poon is also a type of wood or an Australian 'foolish or ineffectual person' .
"Can't yer poon that wonky poon table, yer poon?!"

That would be a never.

So, it's a verb? Do the disparate objects used to poon have a name? For example I used a folded beer map as a ........... to poon the table.

It is a verb, but since when have speakers of English resisted the temptation to turn verbs into nouns as well?

Just saying (since someone used it on an FWR thread the other day).

So 'sparple' is mediaeval for 'ooh, squirrel' then?

Propping up a wobbly table by putting something under one leg. Very useful word!

Have you come across The Horologicon? Fascinating book - I now frequently comment on the need to poon tables.

No, but now I want it! What does 'poon' mean please?

I think <clutches pearls> co-pilot is expecting that the first one will be eaten with a cake fork!

Magpiecomplex · 18/10/2024 20:07

Do you remember the airline food at the start of 2001? The plates of assorted, different coloured pastes? I think Copilot has been taking inspiration from that, looking at the first of Inky's pictures.

On the subject of sparp, I think I ought to mention, the pigs won't touch it.

I don't think the sparp is vegan...

The pigs are very wise.

Vegetarian sparp toastie with hot chorfe ... I wouldn't try to eat the first one.
Tried to get copilot to add a tunnnocks tea cake, but instead, there are some kind of wrapped chocolate sweets inside the sparp toastie 🤔

I believe you mean:

Hey, I'd love a chorfe.

It's cosy here in Pedantry Corner. The video's on YT.

Oh fair enough so Ted.Smile
I sit corrected. I was 100% dependent on my memory, which didn't do too badly.

To get rid of Magpie's marking. I'm helpful like that. Also, the gerbils made me do it.

Thanks Android, much appreciated!

lcakethereforeIam · 18/10/2024 18:37

I'd not given that any thought but, this being the Bluestocking, yes and vegan and gluten free.

FuzzyPuffling · 18/10/2024 18:35

Can you get vegetarian sparp?

lcakethereforeIam · 18/10/2024 18:26

Why is there a pencil sticking in the chorfe mug?

Would a hot mug of chorfe go with a sparp toastie, d'you think?

I assume it's my marking!

Fair enough!

MarieDeGournay · 18/10/2024 18:20

Heeyyyy! I'll have a mug of that... er....^chorfe!

Well done if you got the Babycham ad ref😄
