See http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Hard+Man <br />The Urban Dictionary's put-down of the final wrong definition is funny. Whatever you do, DON'T start looking at other definitions on the Urban Dictionary site, or an hour will be gone before you know it.Denis Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12786035137418348609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5722735165669239585.post-11081642101864543432011-07-15T17:18:27.764+10:002011-07-15T17:18:27.764+10:00Yes....but because it is so rare that you do swear...Yes....but because it is so rare that you do swear, it sounds HILARIOUS!Traceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09920294359715307782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5722735165669239585.post-26737089784703084652011-07-14T11:25:02.039+10:002011-07-14T11:25:02.039+10:00What about the smell of plasticene?

Our little sweaty paws in the tropics made it look like we were fashioning things out of dog-poo.<br />I can't say for sure about Bimbo being called that all his life, but I am almost certain that anyone knowing him at school would still call him that, as we never called him anything but - though we did shorten it to 'Bim' quite often. These days it would sound totally off!<br />Yes, I had a nickname that all the Wrights had - Rifty - I haven't got round to writing about that yet! When I was little with a bunch of curly fair hair they would also call me 'Snowball'. Don't laugh.... :) <br />I don't think there's a way in the world that I could shout any of those words out in public. But when I lose several hundred words of what I've written because of some computer (operator) problem, I can mumble the most amazingly startling invectives of an unattractive type.Denis Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12786035137418348609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5722735165669239585.post-52362335617739842302011-07-13T10:50:48.213+10:002011-07-13T10:50:48.213+10:00Lovely story, so pleasing being transported back t...Lovely story, so pleasing being transported back to how-things-used-to-be. Any sort of lime green plastic gives me a big jolt of childhood memory, as do coloured pencils (the smell!). Did Bimbo go through life being called Bimbo? Did YOU have a nick name? And -those swearers who shout in the mall seem to me more fond of sexual references than of godly ones :)It's pretty ugly, whatever it is (and yes I do swear myself quite strongly when frustrated!!!) But that F word just wasn't around in my world at all.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03796734273732243982noreply@blogger.com
