Debs,
This is one weird place - strange animal noises, unbearable stench, squelchy underfoot - just like your laundry basket at the end of the month.
Dear Morning star, this si what you might have been -yuk
DAG: noun 1a. (usually in the plural) a lump of matted wool and faeces hanging from the rear end of a sheep; b. such a lump cut from a sheep. 2. a person (primarily male) who is regarded as something of a ?'character', eccentric but entertainingly so, a wag. 3a. an unfashionable adolescent. b. any unfashionable or non-stylish person.
The ?'sheep' sense of dag has a clearcut history. It comes from British dialect dag, more commonly dag-lock, which has the same meaning as the Aussie dag (the noisome and dangling tuft which?-as Chaucer said apropos a shepherd?-is ?'shiten'). Hence from Yorkshire we have this redolently romantic promise made by a young shepherd to his sweetheart: ?'My lambs new gowns shall bear thee, no daglocks shall ere come near thee' (Two Yorkshire Lovers, 244).
Craven or wanker,
I agree with you, you should not be called wanker, I mean why associate yourself with the 99% of us other wankers, hold your dominion as Noddy likes to say. I think Cutie pie has a nice ring to it
