    Thank you. I too cringe at these timid euphemisms. "Passed". Passed what? An exam? Driving test? Wind? This site of all places should be a haven where the members are not afraid to use the word "died".

    Not strictly a single word, but I find it infuriating when people won't simply state the age of a child, but insist on using school jargon which is unfathomable to those of us of a certain age. I haven't a clue what Year 7 or Year 12 means, why can't they just say a ten-year-old or whatever. Yours grumpily Toast (Year 98)

    Well, that's my point really. If Les Dennis can do it, Dec should be more than capable of sustaining a solo career.

    How Old Are Dl Users?

    Without being too specific I can remember the assassination of JFK and the first ever episode of Doctor Who. Many years later I learned that these coincided with the death of my Granny, which I remember but had never associated with those other big events. I was yet to be acquainted with the works of C.S. Lewis, or indeed Aldous Huxley, so their deaths passed me by. I do have a senior railcard.

    Dec could just carry on as a solo compere, or go back to acting. Les Dennis did that after the untimely death of Dustin Gee, to the point where most people have forgotten (or never knew) that he came to fame as part of a double act.

    If you had been holidaying near the Danube in the 1980s, you might have enjoyed a river trip with the Donaudampfschiffahrtgesellschaft which gives the opportunity for some even longer words.

    If we're going for foreign words, then who could not be charmed by zakkenroller, the Dutch word for pickpocket. Mind you, pickpocket is a fun word too.
  15. Sorry, that's outside my range of knowledge of GoT! Definitely outside Jon Snow's range of knowledge, but then that's not really surprising, is it

    I was saddened to hear that blahblahblah v. I was sad to hear that blahblahblah "Saddened" just sounds a bit half-hearted to me.

    "Saddened" What's wrong with "sad"?

    "Youngster". I've always hated that word. It comes over as a bit patronising and I don't like the way it sounds.
