...to be irritated by the word 'indulgence'?

[chickpeanow]

For some reason I HATE HATE HATE it. I don't think I've ever used it.

Another past Enid Blyton Mallory Towers reader here

You utter oafs!

[chickpeanow]

I remember Carlotta and her circus ways!

[apostropheuse]

Worra...let's have an adventure! Jolly ho!

[OhTinky]

I like beastly, I use it far too much actually.

I'm really hating poorly-sick at the moment though. Not like I would ever describe myself as healthy-well is it?!

[WorraLiberty]

I remember Carlotta and her circus ways!

Right well that just sounds like a porn movie...

'scanty' because it is often followed by the word 'discharge'

I can honestly say I have never heard of the phrase "scanty discharge"

[chickpeanow]

Oh you durty, durty thing clears pure brain (might take some time...)

[WorraLiberty]

apostropheuse Yes I think we jolly well ought.

What say you to a midnight feast when Matron goes to bed?

[chickpeanow]

There was someone who sang as well and then got caught out in the rain and was a shell of her former self?? But a better person?? I don't really know much about Enid Blyton but some of the messages might have been a bit offkey!

[WorraLiberty]

Lol 'Scanty discharge' sounds like a pirate for some weird reason.

[apostropheuse]

Lashings of ginger beer is what Enid said I think.

I wonder exactly how much is in a lashing.

[3b1g]

Pimp: Google it. I dare you.

[apostropheuse]

yah yah midnight feast in the dorm. All good fun!

[apostropheuse]

ohhhh a dare. Wonder if there'll be a double-dare.

[3b1g]

OK, if we're doing pirate names, then bagsie I'm not 'scanty discharge'.

[3b1g]

There's a sentence I never thought I'd ever type.

[chickpeanow]

oo ar, me scanty discharge

[chickpeanow]

Not mine particularly, you understand

[WorraLiberty]

Too late 3b1g you are now and MNHQ have given you 24hrs to change to that name or risk being known as a great big meanie.

[WorraLiberty]

Sorry I meant

[bondigidum]

I hate the word 'mauled'. 'The child was mauled to death by lions'.. Don't ask me why, just do.

[3b1g]

I'd rather change it to GreatBigMeanie.

[WorraLiberty]

I'll tell you a word I do love and that's bulbous.

Bulbous

Bulbous

Bulbous

It just slips off the tongue and I find it endearingly amusing.

My only gripe with it, is that it's difficult to work into everyday conversation without appearing as though I need to be sectioned.
