Or editorial, or photography… or just anywhere with a bunch of people who curse a lot!

But what about creative combinations of curses, or interesting contexts? Any word can be fun if you play with it enough.

At my job, the editorial department are the ones who swear the most and have the largest vocabularies and best grasp of grammar. They just really enjoy swearing, too.

What about coming up with lots of inventive combined curses? I love Russian for that.

First, I love the word "buggerbucks" and will now endeavour to use it daily.

Please also forgive foreigners! When I found out that you couldn't call a person oriental in America (about ten years ago) I passed that info on to my friend who's half Chinese, and she found it entirely puzzling. She asked me what she was supposed to be if not "oriental", and when I told her she'd be Asian she was…

Aaaaaah. You're brilliant.

I think (this is totally off the top of my head and might be wrong) that we put a "linking R" between vowels to separate them… so if your name was something Kara Adams it would come out like "Kara Radams" if I said it. AND the whole "linking R" thing is super ironic because we also have a non-rhotic accent so we don't…

I just had to Google "canola oil", and I can't even excuse my lack of knowledge by being successfully pretty. Oh dear.

I am a native English speaker and had no idea about that at all. Thank you for the info.

I totally get that. I have a tiny family and also just generally spend a lot of time being quiet/living by myself/doing my own thing… much as I love lots and lots of other people, having a ton of them around me all at once for prolonged periods of time freaks me out. My own parents freak me out from the other side of…

THANK YOU. "E is for envelope", etc.

That's really interesting; I'm supposed to get a bunch of massages to lessen the general rubbishness of my shoulders/neck (there's nothing really wrong with them, they're just sort of vaguely not very good at existing) so when I get around to doing that I'll keep an eye out for a difference. Thank you!

He's so excited that his forehead has gone very orange!

My dad calls the end slices "the knobbies".

In all seriousness, every time I fly Virgin I try to memorise the regulation make up and then do it myself at home. I was once at the US embassy and a gaggle of girls walked in with the make up and I knew immediately they were VA cabin crew. I love it.

I don't think I've ever seen a Virgin stewardess without 'em!

Eva Sara is gorgeous.

This is brilliant; thank you!

Hmm… my neck and shoulders are always ridiculously tight (masseurs always ask me about it) but I never have any jaw/teeth probs. I've always assumed the neck-line thing for me came from looking down at books/computers all the time, but if there might be something else I hadn't thought of, I'd definitely love to find…
