The following story was on www.foxnews.com today.
>>>>>>>>>A survey of more than 2,000 Britons has revealed "nincompoop" is the nation's favorite word out of the 16,500 entries in the Cambridge Dictionary.
The survey found 13 percent of respondents chose "nincompoop" – believed to be derived from the Latin "non compos mentis," meaning not of sound mind – as their favorite sounding English word, The Daily Mai reported.
The poll was commissioned by Ubisoft, makers of the language computer game My Word Search.
The second most popular word was "love" and the third was "mum".<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
SO TO SUM UP:
I love your Mum, she's a nincompoop.
Don't ya find it odd that the 'Cambridge Dictionary' only has 16,000 words?

ReplyDeleteI'm a tad worried that you're getting all fakie-British like Madonna. Real British is wicked cool. Fakie British is wicked pissah scary.
Quick quiz because I care: Are you wearing spats? Do you find yourself pining for cricket season? Instead of "That's bogus" do you find the words "Codswallop" and "flapdoodle" popping out of your piehole?
Spit-spot call the Uh-oh Squad!
