snarky (looked it up now)
My thanks to Crail for post#23 - it sounded a bit like a eulogy on a tombstone
at the end (do you know something I don't?) but I will take it as genuine (as I prefer not to use childish* words such as "I don't care what you think").
LOL - your reference to a funeral pyre produced a great urge for snarkiness but I resisted temptation you will be pleased to hear.
Btw:
"freedom of speech" confused me - are they words of mine? (which I cannot find).
I also seek your advice on a post from Chris in 'age to wear speedos' thread.
As he has said numpty (which I vaguely recognise I think) is that of Scottish origin and/or adopted as American slang now ?
Lang may yer lum reek (and I hold my head in shame if misspelled - but I do know it is a wonderfully evocative expression about smoke and chimneys)
*oh dear me - now I see I have to contend with genuflect and a JO above - and do I dare explain to an author the meaning of abstruse ?
