'So what?' You say, 'yet another Jennifer Lawrence pic.' 'Haud the bus,' says I. 'That there is Helen Mirren back in the day.'

A ginger nut, the most robust of dunking biscuits, has sheared off into my tea. Everything I once firmly believed in now teeters on a shoogly peg.

β€˜Fraughting’ occurs when two men, both fearing discovery, indulge their sexual passions in a public toilet cubicle.

It once was fixed
The line betwixt,
Poetry and prose,
Now asunder cleft,
By warp and weft,
That’s just the way it goes.

I fear I have mischaracterised Sir Keir Starmer. It appears he can in fact stand lower in my estimation.

No, it’s a good Scots word too.
My favourite use was one overheard by myself in an exchange between two ladies as I walked the dog around Strathclyde Park.
β€˜It’s waarm int’ it?’ Sighed one.
β€˜Aye, ma oaxters are gein’ me the dry boak.’ Came the splendidly candid reply.

β€˜Devilled Eggs’ were a big thing in North Carolina when we lived there. I did not see a clock, but there was one in the shape of a smiling face. Somewhat startlingly the tongue was tomato and the teeth were pointy carved radish. I am actually glad I didn’t take a picture.
