I don't know what it means in Britain, but in the States, it's a vulgarity.

I believe that. A few years back, a pastor from Missouri spoke at my church, and he used a word that on the east coast is considered a locker-room type of vulgarity, but obviously not so everywhere.
And, NO, I'm not going to tell you what word it was.

Hey, I am not a Brit and I knew what it meant! But it isn't used a whole lot around these parts at all. Mostly it seems a new discovery to people. I hope it stays that way.....lol. Actually, twit isn't used a whole lot anyway. So, I tend to make up words or use words that are sort of known, but not how I use them. Like, for instance, goomba.
"Pippen is such a goomba." Sorry to be OT. Here, let me fix it. Wood has really beautiful eyes. Jennifer |

My personal insult which no-one I know uses apart from my flat mate and his wife is calling people a ming-mong. Or just a ming, or a mong. It's a great general purpose phrase, and fits into lots of things like songs really well.
EG: Minging along, minging this mong, Minging in a winter wonderland etc. Also, I can, on occasion, be heard to exclaim 'chuffing chug-nuts' when outright obscenity may be inappropriate. And as for FF fancying shoulders, it's just a female thing. Men perfer bums or chests. Most guys I know go for chests, but I prefer bums. Dunno why, they are just sexy. But a man fancying shoulders? EWWW! The only way that would work is if they fancied women off Dallas and Dynasty with their hooooooooooooge padded jackets |

I've never had a rodent. But I used to keep a gerbil cage in my closet in hopes of someday getting one . . .

Awww everyone should look after a pet rodent at some point.
So cute! When I was at university my hamster had the run of my bedroom. I basically went over it with a fine-tooth comb when I first moved in checking there were no wires, holes, poisionous thingies on the floor etc. And then simply let him run loose. Was so cool to hear the little pitter-patter of his feet. I used to move his food around occasionally so he had to go out scouting. Was so sweet |

We have rats all the time. But we start bringing out the sticky paper when the carton and plastic food packages begin to turn up holes.

When I was a kid, I had a cat and a hamster. One day, my brother left the hamster cage open, and Squeaky got out. He was eaten by the cat. From that moment on, I only had a cat.

I had a pet parakeet named Butter, but my dog(Daisy) ate him.

So, let me get this straight..you guys all have pets who either died or ate other pets...
therefore, Elijah Wood is a bit of a Weirdo?

Does that not seem logical to you, Arathorn?
