Deliveration

That feeling occasioned by seeing a delivery van pull up outside causing worry that you have ordered something you have forgotten and will now have to explain away, followed by realisation that the delivery is for next door.

Sure there are more.

The nanosecond.

The time between the traffic light turning green in Saudi Arabia (or Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar (.....you get the idea)) and the driver 20 cars back hitting his hooter.



No kidding, I've measured it, many. many times.....

hors d'oeuvre (you really need to hear it, not read it)

A vehicle model also available in a diesel version.

I thought hors d'oeuvre was what you got if you stood in the way of a cavalry charge

AKA Utopia.  As in the frequency of those 3 conditions coinciding in the Fens is about as high as finding Elvis alive and well, or my new dog behaving himself.   ;D

That's why Skegness is so bracing.....  That lovely warm easterly breeze, all the way from the Urals.

Fentastic is also what a snurglar would think of a particularly aromatic bicycle seat, using the Profanisaurus definition of "fent".

Lurid clothing,

Very bright clothing designed to be worn in a cut pile cotton upholstered subterranean rail system.

That probably needs a little thinking about, especially at this time on a Sunday, for which I apologise, as  I collect my coat from the hook by the door.
