No, it wouldn't. It might imply, suggest or insinuate, but it wouldn't infer. You would be the one doing that.

I do like the one liner it spawned though: I've been coughing up so much mucus that people think I'm Phlegmish.

Partner Or more specifically the way this neutral word has been hijacked to mean 'the person with whom one is having a sexual relationship'. Now we have to put up with ambiguity if we wish to speak of a business partner, dance partner or any non-sexual use of the word. Conversely I think not enough use is made of delightul words like paramour and concubine.

That’s a charming word! In fact, most of its synonyms are pleasing words too: obsequious, sycophantic, oleaginous, all wholesome words that aren’t used enough.

I'll start. Winningest

Stands up to be counted as stilted ass (arse) #1

I don't think it's as simple as North/South, I'm from the North and the midday meal has always been called lunch in my house. For the evening meal it would depend on whether we were having a full-on sit down meal in which case it was dinner or grabbing something quick before going out which would be tea. When I was with my now ex I'd often ask " Are you going to make dinner tonight or shall I do tea?" It was years before he caught on. I agree with you on "journey" and similarly "emotional"

His chair seems frightened.

Help! Help! The Sun was right! The Beast from the East is here! I can't get outside to my car! Somebody help!

Fantastic. An adjective for this thread, and also an adjective I despise. If you're describing something in such an admiring way, you've got so many gorgeous words to choose from. Tremendous is a tremendous word. Sublime? Glorious? Brilliant? Magnificent? Phenomenal? Amazeballs? (alright, maybe not that one) So why would one choose such a vacuous, dumbed-down word as fantastic? There's not that many words I dislike, though. The English language is fantastic.

Please use a condom when giving him some attention. Thank you.

Thank you. Not mine actually though, it is a lose English translation of what the Norwegian people think of him. Glad he is out of Norway for a few years anyway. Thanks for taking him off our hands for a while.

Fuck off! Err, I mean, yep, he's alive, despite rumours to the contrary.

If I may pedant... By that logic, the first century AD (or CE if you prefer) was only 99 years long as there was no year zero, so cant be a century. Logically, the first century AD is it's first hundred years, i.e. 1 AD to 100 AD; subsequent centuries hence start in (x)x01 and finish in (x)[x+1]00

WTAF? HAIR STYLING? Sorry, but, him, in a hairdresser? Or even a barbers? 'Fuck that shite, do I have a sharp knife? Why, 'yes'. Several in fact. Or scissors sharpened so much you'd slice your hand picking them up. Job done.

Top class political analysis!

Realinement is the current buzz word in my job. Because restructure is far more scary according to bosses and they think we’re daft enough to fall for that crap. No it’s a restructure and some will loose their jobs. Its as if these people think we fell out of the tree and bounced on every branch on the way down.

Oh gosh how terrible, How on earth will you dig that out? Snow in the S.E and London is so much more awful (take it my snow is on the way then, but lucky me my recent XH stole my car last week!) I like waking anyway. Especially in snow / wind / rain. I'm not really cut out for the place.... It'll be like this by ten. And I would recommend a lower heeled if not actually flat boot if you really have to if you can't get outside to the car. HTH

Our New countryman (means that those people already in your country, both native-born and older immigrants, who have low-paying jobs, unskilled jobs, will lose their jobs to the New countyman, and the New countrymen can then be exploited by the rich even more.) .....because, it is often said in Norway, they do jobs no one else wants to do. Meaning low-paid or jobs where the rich want to reduce the power of unions....

Outsourcing. (Means you are going to lose your job! )

I think the divorce maybe a way don Jr can protect his wife and kids by distancing them from himself. He wife received white powder substance in post no long ago. I do believe Don jr's wife and kids don't get govt protection, so a good way to make them less of a target.Of course this may simply have been the final straw in the marriage and a legit divorce.

It takes someone really low to laugh at a guy's broken marriage just because they don't agree with his father's politics. https://goldfiremedia.net/2018/03/16/fake-news-media-celebrates-trump-divorce/

"One fine sunny morning, the priest took a walk in the local forest. He had been walking by the small stream when he noticed a sad, sad looking frog sitting on a toadstool. "Well," said the frog, "the reason I am so sad on this fine day is because I wasn't always a frog." "Really!" said the priest. "Can you explain!" "Once upon a time I was an 11 year old Choir boy at the local church. I too was walking through this forest when I was confronted by the wicked witch of the forest. 'Let me pass!' I yelled, but to no avail. She called me a cheeky little boy and with a flash of her wand, turned me into this frog you see before you." "That's an incredible story" said the priest. "Is there no way of reversing this spell that the witch has cast upon you?." "Yes" said the frog, "It is said, that if a nice kind person would pick me up, take me home, give me food & Warmth and with a good nights sleep I would wake up a boy once again." "Today's your lucky day!" said the priest, and picked up the frog and took him home. The priest gave the frog lots of food, placed him by the fire and at bedtime put the frog on the pillow beside him. When the priest awoke, he saw the 11-year-old Choirboy beside him in bed, "And that my lord is the case for the Defense....... "
