Shows how naive I am.... Oh, English would be far too simple if words only had TWO meanings! Haha. It's also a bothersome chore (as in, "it's not worth the fag of coming and going"). Four or five other obsolete and/or dialect meanings too.    Posted:   Feb 25, 2018 - 4:37 AM     By:   Tall Guy   (Member) I just thought that, before it was a word for people insecure in their own sexuality to try to insult gay men, it was just a European slang term for "cigarette". Shows how naive I am.... Oh, English would be far too simple if words only had TWO meanings! Haha. It's also a bothersome chore (as in, "it's not worth the fag of coming and going"). Four or five other obsolete and/or dialect meanings too. Quite common down our way for older people to say, when they're tired, "I'm fagged out". Younger ones tend to replace the f with sh. Which muddies the water again.    Posted:   Feb 28, 2018 - 8:07 PM     By:   Sir David of Garland   (Member) Please, please, PLEASE tell me, my British brethren, that you have not never ( ) nor never will use the following word: "Blissikins" as in "It was utter, utter, utter blissikins!" No ... nor have I ever heard anyone else say that. I will very VERY occasionally say "spiffing" (even that in a sarcastic manner) but that's about as close as you'll get. The quote above, dtw, was something from British literature (I'll see if I can find the reference). So maybe nobody ever said it, only wrote it!    Posted:   Mar 1, 2018 - 1:40 AM     By:   Bill Carson, Earl of Poncey   (Member) Ive never heard of utter blissikins. However, i think i might start using it now. Spiffing i use all the time in an enid-blyton style famous five RAF-type comedy pisstake. Jolly good show also. And "Cheps!" which is posh british 1952 for chaps.    Posted:   Mar 1, 2018 - 5:00 PM     By:   Sir David of Garland   (Member) Ive never heard of utter blissikins.

This was from Nancy Mitford's "Love in a Cold Climate"    Posted:   Mar 4, 2018 - 4:53 PM     By:   Bill Carson, Earl of Poncey   (Member) I was in utter blissikins tonight.    Posted:   Mar 6, 2018 - 8:09 PM     By:   Sir David of Garland   (Member) I was in utter blissikins tonight. In the words of Paul Merton on "Just a Minute": "The ponciest ponce who ever ponced a ponce."    Posted:   Jan 19, 2023 - 4:45 PM     By:   Sir David of Garland   (Member) ...interested in learning about one of your past queens? (and I don't mean your uncle who wore a dress!) In the UK: www.queenvictoriasjournals.org Elsewhere: http://qvj.chadwyck.com/marketing/index.jsp But it looks like a body cannot get to them unless a body is a library or such. And even then, they want us to sign in (so the Queen can track us even from The Beyond!)    Posted:   May 25, 2023 - 6:01 PM     By:   Sir David of Garland   (Member) From "The White Cliffs of Dover" (1940) 'So, Susan, my dear,' the letter began, 'You've fallen in love with an Englishman. Well, they're a manly, attractive lot, If you happen to like them, which I do not. Is this still true? Or only back in 1940? I saw one Brit, in situ, when I was in London. But he was so tall I couldn't see his face, so I don't know if he was a "manly, attractive" unit.    Posted:   May 25, 2023 - 10:50 PM     By:   Tall Guy   (Member) From "The White Cliffs of Dover" (1940) 'So, Susan, my dear,' the letter began, 'You've fallen in love with an Englishman.

Lol    Posted:   May 26, 2023 - 2:20 AM     By:   Prince Damian   (Member) Manly? Attractive? Well, some of us are. Lol I'm getting better looking as I get older. Either that or my eyesight is getting worse!    Posted:   Jun 1, 2023 - 5:27 PM     By:   Sir David of Garland   (Member) Well, not a clear answer from a one of you. THAT'S what I get for putting the question to a buncha non-gay men! I'll bet you wouldn't know a manly, attractive man if he bit you in the butt!    Posted:   Jun 1, 2023 - 10:19 PM     By:   Tall Guy   (Member) Well, not a clear answer from a one of you.

We’d hardly be in a position to judge, now, would we?    Posted:   Jun 1, 2023 - 11:08 PM     By:   Bill Carson, Earl of Poncey   (Member) Wouldnt you need a mirror to know?
