Mmm, the good stuff to, and not just the tequila.

I'm only good in a certain context.

 

[johneb87]

I'm only good in a certain context.

I'll keep that in mind

Oh, I'm sure I can find something else to occupy your mind.

 

[johneb87]

Oh, I'm sure I can find something else to occupy your mind.

Oh, I love brainstorming. Shall we go down the list?

 

[_Lynn_]

Yes, we should go down.

 

[johneb87]

Yes, we should go down.

Always good to start from the top.

Be careful what you wish for, John.
She am bloody dangerous; a nice lady and talented author, of course but a trifle dodgy.

I shall heed your warning.
I'm always a gentleman of course.

Dodgy???

 

[johneb87]

Dodgy???

Maybe he means, squirmy?

 

[Handley_Page]

Maybe he means, squirmy?

squirmy ??? What ?

Ah, dodgy. An English English colloquialism:

dodgy
1; cunning, artful.
2; tricky, risky.

The word was in more common use in the 1960s at a time when "Swinging" was a popular term for 'good'.
It is a word implying a certain 'caution' in any dealings.
One of our comedians (I think it was Norman Vaughan) used these two terms quite a lot.


I do hope this has cleared up any confusion.

PS; the term dodgy should, of course, not be taken to imply anything other than straight and civilised behaviour.

Yeah, it even made it over here to the states in the 60s and 70s. Swinging did too, but I don't think it meant the same thing when we used it.

I was under that impression, for sure.

How are you doing this Sunday?

To be honest, I'm exhausted. I spent most of the past three days with someone who was struggling to find a reason to keep going. Mentally draining even though I would do it all over again.

If by "finding a reason to keep going" means what I think it does for that someone, then as my family would say, you've earned your place in heaven.
