RE: Week 25 - ATP 500 - Fever-Tree Championships - The Queen's Club, London, Great Britain (grass)


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. )

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


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!  furious


[...] 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.

Ham is old english, Anglo Saxon, and means farm or homestead.

Yes, how remiss of me; you must have been totally unable to even hazard a guess at what it possibly could have meant. Synonyms such as destroyed, slaughtered, rinsed, whipped, thrashed and smashed would have doubtless induced a similarly puce-faced incandescent reaction.

Yes, I love 'difference'.

I also think it's really important to remember that some people spend a lot of time on this forum (smile) 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 smile - 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...

...which is why I often use the online urban dictionary to look up the contemporary usage of a word. I find it fascinating how the English language grows and words evolve new forms, or new words are created or adopted from elsewhere. It is the plastic form of English (as opposed to the thought police that control the French language for example) that is a major reason why it is the world's dominant language..
