to occasionally use "wizard" as an adjective?

[ClockWatchingLady]

Just that.

Can you put it into context for us?

Example?

In an Enid Blytonesque sort of way?

Em, are you an old Chaletian?

Topping word!

Has to be in an Enid Blyton-styleeee.

Else, you are being totes unreasonable.

YANBU. DH regularly says "marvellous", mostly to shop assistants or on the phone. But wizard is better.

Not at all..dd and i are currently reading the malory towers books and have developed a great love of 'wizard' used as an adjective !

It just occasionally happens... and I have never even read Enid B .

Most recent example was excitement over a goal (football). Has also been used in relation to music tracks and pictures of dogs, etc., by the DC. If I quote myself directly, I may never regain self respect.

No, sounds jolly smashing.

That's a relief, Majestic and Scarlett.

Do you say it about lashings of lemonade?

I should, Ledkr.

It sounds a bit Brizzle to me.

You from them parts?

Yes, actually, IScream. Am I absolved?

YABU to use it to describe football.

Lacrosse on the other hand...

I use "spiffing" and "ripping" regularly. It irritates people rather beautifully.

Yes, you are gert absolved.

Yeah, I know that was wrong. But you are still hereby absolved

I like it. I don't use it regularly, although I do often say marvellous, super and jolly. But said in the right context, it's simply splendid!

Are you Jennings? Do you use 'Ozard' as its antonym? If not, I rather think YABU.

I say spiffing a lot too Gemling and wizard. They are super words. As oh Oh golly gosh

Ozard I had totally forgotten about that

Only if you have just discovered some smugglers in a secret cave and you are about to sit down to a picnic of potted meat sandwiches, tinned peaches and lashings of ginger beer.

I learnt yesterday that sadly the quote "lashings of ginger beer" does not actually appear in any of the famous five books.

...which I must say was a bit of a blow

I've not read any EB books but 'marvellous' and 'splendid' are words that I use frequently. I think I will start using 'wizard'!
