I'm back from the hospital and now plastered, which makes typing hard....

By the way— saying that you are "plastered" is an American colloquialism for saying that one is very drunk ( i.e., intoxicated ).:) I don't know if that's Britspeak, as well. While it's possible that's exactly what you meant, I suspect you were actually trying to tell us that your arm is immobilized in a plaster cast.

Maybe he meant both. :p

Good to see you back, Tarakin.

Ups, I didn't know that, thanks for the explaination. This happens when you translate word by word I guess... Okay, I'm not drunk and my arm is immobilized in a plaster cast. :eek:

Thanks for the new well wishes from all of you :rose:

We use plastered in Aussie, though the prefered term is pissed.

I think that might have been "plastered up".
But plastered sounds funnier.

Good Luck Tarakin.
That must have bee some knock you had.

I've always known that Britspeak for drunk was "pissed" though I've wondered if "plastered" was used. I also wondered if Oz also used "pissed." It's always good to learn these things and now we know.

I have long admired and been fascinated by the cleverness, originality, wit and creativity of both Aussies and Brits with respect to our theoretically "common language." There are occasions when I haven't the foggiest idea what the hell y'all are talking about.
