Thank you so much for coming out to play! Oh, I do so love FLIP FLOPS, especially with an English accent. Speaking of England, there are a few words that I only ever hear when I'm there, like BOLLARD and HENGE (fabulous!) and DUNGAREES and PLIMSOLES. How about those for a good old belly laugh!? Oh, and of course there's FART - always a classic. Say it three times now, go on! Fart, fart, fart! Ha! Actually, as kids, my brother and I used to call a fart a BLOWOFF. That's possibly funnier! Of course there are other, more sophisticated names for blowoffs these days, like 'air biscuit,' 'soup cooler' and, my personal favourite, 'trouser trumpet' (see Fart Thesaurus - a must on every bookshelf) Oh, what fun we're having!
I do rather like FERRET and TROUSER LEG (now that's a combination). And of course there are a few names that get me every time like Gladys Stote Pamphlett (thank you Monty Python) and NIGEL SNETTERTON. Monty Python very much appreciated fun words and I shall be eternally grateful to them for such gems as Wankle Rotary Engine, Grunties and Bibrophone. And now for something completely different, how about these ridiculous English place names?
Bishops Itchington
Bognor Regis
Titty Hill (hee hee)
Pratts Bottom
Feckenham (I like it with fecken eggs m'self)
Foul End
Lickey End
Wyre Piddle
Piddle Brook
Finally, there's those great English pub names such as:
The Salmon & Dentures
The Hamster & Sprocket
The Spanner & Measels
The Eggflip & Tonsils
The Marathon & Pants
The Stilton & Pencil
The Fillet & Knickers
The Wren & Biscuits
The Kitten & Motorway
Thank you fun words! XX
