I realised my error and tried to activate the DELETE, but the whole thing went on go-slo and seemed to be locked up so I went to watch TV (Jon Stewart on More4) but that turned out to be a repeat so everything is going wrong tonight.
Pipped could mean two things; let's choose one. If someone has "got the pip" or "taken the hump" then they could be said to be pipped, but this would probably be an unusual usage...or am I wrong again?
Again I have no idea what you Brits are talking about - both those expressions are strangers to me.
I used 'pipped' to mean, 'too late!'
Late lunches are a bit of a trial and one can easily start drumming one's fingers on the table but one does have to allow for the maids sulking after one has made an error at breakfast complaining that the grapefruit was sour.
Sour grapefruit just needs a little (brown) sugar sprinkling on it. When was Grapefruit ever sweet?
Sweet mother of god! Why do we atheists resort to religious exhortation when it's inappropriate to swear?
Swearing and profanity is unbecoming in ladies. But does that stop them?
Them that insist gender plays a part in permitted language usually have 'Madonna or Whore' issues. Why does being told not to (especially by men, who think they own language) always makes me want to?
To introduce a little science here is possibly risky but a few years ago a study was carried out which showed that the frequency of occurence of "expletives" in spoken discourse was associated with danger and difficult working conditions. This suggests that the use of these words by females signifies that they perceive their lives to be more dangerous and difficult to those of the previous generation or that they use these words to try to give that impression for strategic reasons which correlates with their increasing use of trousers.
Trousers are dangerous for women to wear? Obviously this is an area which requires further research...maybe a grant could be obtained from Bill Gates.
Gates of the Convent - that's where I learned my (more salter) vocabulary, and I DO work in a dangerous and difficult environment, not a week goes by without incident or Police being called. Why is it more acceptable for men to swear then women?
Women are mysterious creatures; some of them are my best friends.
Friends can be a pain in the neck. Only yesterday one of them broke my stiff brush.
Brush with the law, outside Smorgie's place? Did you see the one on television today when the policewoman was attacked with a motorcycle?

I don't like my ho's to use profanity...it spoils me doner.
(profanity - snigger, snigger)
Doner ******* kebabs should never be ******* eaten after ******* inbibing ******* alcohol, as it ******* results in twats and wankers ******* decorating the ******* pavements. Has this ******* ever ******* happened to you bastards?
Bastards are always trying to get the best of you. Pay them no mind, and just enjoy your ice cream.
Cream is very bad for you except in Mother's milk in which case it is very good for you. It contains a high percentage, so I'm told, of that most pernicious poison fat.
Fat, and how to avoid it - what you put in your mouth influences your weight much more than how much you exercise. To work off a Mars bar you have to ride a bike 30km/h for an hour.
