So long as you call your dm Mother or Mummy, and you have a looking glass instead of a mirror I think 'wizard' is a damn fine word.

Cabbage crates over the briny, Skipper

I came on to mention Ozard as well. These have entered our family vernacular. As well as, " oh Daddy, you horrible old ruin!" at which I have to turn away, smirking.

No, but I think it may appear in one of the Malory Towers books. Probably spoken by that free-handed little bossyboots Darrell Rivers.

(Incidentally, I was just thinking about the Famous Five's food for some reason, and thought how healthy it all was, despite the fact Blyton is clearly feeding her characters what she considers great big fantasy blow-outs. Lots of ham and tongue and massive salads and fruit cakes and apple tarts and cheese and milk and eggs. I suppose rationing - and the fact that junk and fast food had yet to be invented - would do that.)

YANBU - it's a smashing word! Having grown up in Ireland on a diet of EB (and my Dad having being in a very "U" boarding school) I've always used lots of gosh, smashing, bloody hell, damn and blast, very non-Irish expressions and expletives - but not, before today, wizard. I'll be using it, for sure!!

My favourite EB expression is 'simply too wizard for words'. I think it's in Third Form at Malory Towers - I went through a phase of saying it over and over again when I was about 10. I might start that again now you've reminded me, OP. Tophole post, old thing!

YABU because it is lazy SLANG.

I use it in a Donna Noble style, sarcastic 'Well thats just wizard'
