@contrex,
I like your wife.
In my situation, a million years ago, me, la stupida, they were tempered, while laughing, whereas, looking back, they could have been meenies.
To add context, I learned from those women, part of my growing up, the back and forth.
Re your words, I'm fine with all of them, britanese or otherwise.
I still have anosmia. So did my father. I gather spellcheck hates it.
