[TT] - Totally Tangential.
Ha, Ha, Ha . . .
When I was studying at SIU Carbondale I rushed into a teaching
assistants'
meeting fresh from vacuuming the carpet at home and said:
"Sorry I'm late, I have just been hoovering . . ."
There was a deathly silence in the room!
My understanding supervisor (A Canadian) took me outside and told me
that 'hoovering' did not mean vacuum-cleaning in America.
Late, I was working in the married students' garden plots when a
pleasant
woman from Wyoming asked me how I managed to break up the clods of
earth
so effectively. My reply; "I always use a hoe." was received in
silence,
and then she walked off, never to speak to me again.
In Britain, 'beavering away' means (or, maybe, meant, when I was
at school)
"working away extremely eagerly"; no doubt connected with "eager
beaver" -
which, no doubt, you North Americans will resemanticise as a
synonym for "loose woman".
Divided by a common language we may be; united by a love of
programming in
Runtime Revolution I hope we all are.
Welcome to the silly season !!!
Love, Richmond.
