The phrase TO LET made me laugh when I was in London. I kept reading TOILET. In my neck of the woods we say rent or for lease.

putting the brakes (stopping) on your fast could work too! lol


If tortured English is your bag, I guess so.

"Break"fast.....what the hell is a break? Should it be Brake-fast..as in braking your overnight fast?


No, brake=brakes on a car or bike etc ....break= end/damage, your definition would be to stop moving the fast whereas the original would mean to end as in break a vow.

You don't end at a stop light when you hit your brakes wink

I'm trying to speak Sapanish since I am stopped in the store all the time to give food directive. I can understand but don't speak it. My Hubby said its because I can pass for Hispanic.

Fromage -- ever since I saw a little Mtv short of a cut-out man reclining and talking about a fromage. Forget the food, the word took on a comforting nature all its own.

'fuck to rass!' is a way of cussin outta frustration or cussin someone.
When cussin someone like that it means 'fuck away'/'get away from me',
but at the same time 'rass' isn't another word for away rolleyes
Funny eh? lol
I swear the words "HATER" is wayyy over-rated...smh
