They come out with some crackers don't they, especially those over made up 40 somethings covered in bracelets and necklaces?

Overheard v. serious convo yesterday re speaker's inability to wear taupe (eh??). Also on agenda were Louise's astounding weightloss and in depth analysis of 'this season's accessories'.

I sometimes amuse myself by joining in in similar inane vein.

i consider most people incapable of wearing taupe but it doesn't appear to stop them.

yes

but then again if you eavesdropped on our tearoom full of cutting-edge academics you would hear some utter twaddle

Yesterday: why children should be filled with helium, enabling you to tow them behind you on a string and negating the need for cumbersome buggies, bikeseats etc

What is taupe?
Brown?

And while on subjest, wtf is 'teal'?

taupe is beige

teal is where bluey green meets greeny blue

world of taupe

i imagined it was a sort of pensioners beige but i am wrong apparently

watch it you are indulging in inane chitter chatter, [rattles braclets in a meanacing fashion]

Blimey.
Taupe is more what I thought guff spouting shop women call cacao.

Yes,rr maybe tinsel artfully twining up affected calf.
