AIBU to want to punch the air?

"Knocked up" must be used with care. Round my way, it means pregnant - or should that be 'got with child'?

I was thinking the same - I hadn't heard it in the context of being tired, only pregnant!

Great thread.....when I get to use the word 'dichotomy' in the right context. That's an elbow pump right there. Not that I get much opportunity !

I used 'nebulous' in an email once.
