I have learned not to say "that was a right cock up" around my kids American friends anymore! And, I've shortened "the dog's bollocks" to just "the dog's". Although, most of them dont know what bollocks are, haha! My teens just say "the mutt's nuts" which I think is worse! Oh! and please never ask anyone to "knock you up at 6:30"!!!!

I'm trying to come up with a rhyme for my male cat's nuts.

How about the kittie's bitties? allthough I guess it sounds a bit like biddy...not quite the same

I'm not sure it captures the essense of a cat's nuts, but it would be quite good as a kitty kibble brand name.

To be sure, if I were in the grocery and saw a packet of Kittie's Bitties, I would fall out right there on the spot!

Essense of cat's nuts - oh dear! It reminds me of how old Tom used to spray Smile I'm just glad I have a pussy now. Right...you can't call them that in the states, now can you? It calls to mind when my mother used to call our cat Mrs. Pittypat when it was feeding time right after we moved to New Hampshire. "here, puss, puss, puss!" No one for the longest time could figure our why all the neighbours laughed so. good times, good times.

We could start an entire thread just based on the cat's nuts!

Can't believe this show can still be seen on the telly. I sometimes think the Yanks will buy any old rubbish with a British accent.

I don't think there is an episode of Are You Being Served where they don't talk about Mrs. Slokum's pussy.

Hi, JohnA -- long time no post here -- I was TexasBrit in 2004 and 2005 and posted from your fair city.
