No offence to Felix, but Feliciano Lopez has totally ruined him there.

Interesting, the urban dictionary provides a definition with a strongly sexual connotation... Comes from the lyrics of a Norah Jones song

Am none the wiser!  Why, oh why, do people on here assume that, because they use certain terminology with which they are familiar, everybody else is as well & understands what the bloody hell they are talking about, especially if they are derived from obscure Americanisms?!!!  I don't want to have to go rooting about on Google to make sense of throwaway remarks!

[...] are you aware that words such as butter, street, kitchen were borrowed from Latin and brought over by the Anglo-Saxons? Place names such as those with -Chester date from around 450. Latin influenced Celtic words that ended up in place names that have original in "church" or "school". Pretty sure -ham (as in Birmingham is from something as well)

Yes.

 Then you should know that what I said about language is true then 

Btw -what is the Birmgham - ham from if you know?

PPS - SC not trying to have a go at you. I just seem to have very different opinions to you (unfortunately for me) and think that we are all welcome in the forum, no? So if I do something differently to you or add a bit of info or maybe post the same thing as you because multiple posts have happened - it shouldn't matter. I sometimes find posts bordering on attacking (& I'm sure you don't mean to be but you seem to like things done in a specific way. No issue with that. But that's your way and not mine. Like the above post is them and not you. )

Yes, I love 'difference'.

I also think it's really important to remember that some people spend a lot of time on this forum () and some just dip in and out, from time to time. And everybody should be welcome. So if someone posts something and - back three pages ago - it was already there, don't mention it - it sounds rude, even if not meant that way. 

And here's to language ! Had no idea really what Jeff meant but no problem - I went to a Comedy Club night last week, which was a real laugh - as they're meant to be  - but there were quite a few times when the younger audience around me burst out laughing and I was 'errr, interesting, bit lost on me, that one, wonder what on earth THAT meant?' All good...
