We are saying it all wrong again!

Isn’t that spelling with an ‘e’ as used in Irish whiskey whereas Scotch is Scottish whisky without the ‘e’? Or is that a deliberate typo and I have perhaps missed the connection? :thinking:

All this is very confusing, especially considering the subject of the OP. :grinning:

@PixieKnuckles, you have the best smilies that match your posts. Love the cooking one and the drinking one. :blush:

Well I reckon that’s a pretty good deal. A half kilo of clotted round here is about £4. (No good me sending you more than that cos it’ll go off.)

Or if I say I don’t like curry does that make me racist.

There’s another smiley website that is similar, this one also works the same way:

Cannot as yet work out why Pixie’s link displayed differently but just click on the bold heading to access the website. All so much easier now though thanks to the new forum and how it works! :grinning:

Haha, it’s a minefield isn’t it!

Hi

We were talking about this in the early hours in CCU with the Indian Nurses.

They do not use the term Curry in their part of India.

It is a word they learnt in their English Lessons.

They are from Kerala, where the food is very spicy.

Nice one @Baz46 , thank you! I’ll check it out! :+1:

That should also have been a reply to butterscotch, not quite worked that one out either,
far too early in the day for me I reckon! :sleeping: :grinning:

Thank you @Baz46 and @PixieKnuckles! I have them both bookmarked. So fun! I want to write picture stories now. :blush:

Political correctness is getting offended on someone else’s behalf

If it wasn’t for English colonialism there wouldn’t be so many Indians over here with good lifestyles owning Restaurants and so many Indians in India, educated and running large corporations.

:+1: You are welcome butterscotch, have fun! :grinning:

These days I’d rather a Mexican
But the older males can be a bit chewy :crazy_face:

Haha! @Rhian That reminds me of the saying “I love children, but I can’t eat a whole one” :smiley:

“Curry” is out? How long will it be before I can’t call my bungalow a bungalow? After all said and done, “bungalow” is just another word, like “jodhpurs” and many others, that’s crept into English from the days of the Raj.

I wonder if you should start referring to it as a “Flat”, because technically that is what it is :icon_surprised:

Oh yes, that’s gonna really confuse things.
What will we call what we now call flats - and I refuse the Americanised “apartment” option before it gets suggested.
:grin:
