Saffer or Aussie?

Should have been clearer. I think she is Aussie (granted she could be a Kiwi but's it's same difference) The Missus thinks she is Saffer.
Ah, but this changes everything : She is now definitely Saffer. Even if she is Aussie.

I know it seems funny, but given the word is so offensive to so many people, could you please remove that false quote attributed to me - thanks
Fixed, I took total responsibility for my depiction, albeit vulgar, of the human anatomy. Hope that helps. :-D What I find offensive is having to use code for words. F word, C word, E word, N word, etc. If people just said what they were thinking then there would be communication between people, not some coded message. X|

"Sunshine" is the word you are looking for.

Interesting... we refer to a dog in the house as a portable Hoover... especially at meal times!

"... a dog in the house" sounds like another euphemism to me. Okay, so what did you *really* mean? :-)

The thing about British humour is that it depends much of the time about not actually saying the punchline but allowing others to work it out

the British joke then becomes the point that one never used the word however others did in their minds.

However given that you have not changed the quote I am asking you again to please not use that word as a false quote - please change it.
I took full responsibility for the quote, relieving you of any attribution. Did I really have to explain that? :doh:

That's interesting, actually, because it brings up the point that there are big differences between British and American humour. After extensive research by multiple teams of highly trained and experienced humorists, comedians, academics, and other experts, the main difference was found to be that British humour is funny.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.
