My dad has just made himself some toasted cheese and announced that he had emaciated it. It was slightly scorched.

«Honing in» really irritates me. You either home in like a missile on target, or sharpen a knife. You don't give a knife the final edge by honing it in. You simply hone it.

It seems like we all come here to repeat our favourites every year or two. Just waiting for Larkim and his Iranian Ostriches to put in an appearance. A colleague of mine once got mixed up telling me I was very drunk and that I smelt of booze and ended up saying "Christ, Dio, you stink of piss." |

I heard a good one on the radio - “artesian sough-dough” bread. Presumably, all the ingredients are gound, including the water.
