Word(s) for the day: flotsam and jetsam
7 comments:
we often refer to the boys as flotsam and jetsam -- (imagine how cute it would be to have named them that on the blog? a bit much tho)
eat something salty
eat something sweet -- it will cure everything.
Just where do 'flotsam and jetsam' come from - and where do they go? I think they are wonderful words too - but can you ever have them apart, I wonder?
What are bikkies, choccies, brekkies, and googy-eggs? Snackies? ;) I know hubbies aren't snackies, usually. Sorry about the headache. I had one too. Must have been sun spots. Hope you're feeling better!!
love the list. you've inspired me! thanks, mav
Ok ...
my friend said I need to turn off the computer and drink lots of water to get rid of the headache. (It worked. But I still ate the sweets anyway).
Flotsam - the wreckage OF a shipwreck, ie the bits of wood and rigging of the ship floating about and being washed up.
Jetsam - the stuff JETTISONED FROM a shipwreck at time of sinking, ie. the crap thrown overboard to lighten the load in a futile attempt to save the ship.
Bikkie - Strayan shortened term for biscuit
Brekkie - Strayan short term for breakfast
Choccie - ditto, chocolate
Hubby - international for husband
Googy egg - (makes me puke to even write it) Strayan babytalk for egg. Blurrcchh.
Strayan - Australian for Australian
mmmmmm word snob. i am all about the brekkie! but seriously aren't we all word snobs occasionally I cringe when I hear a 'k' where an 'ng' should be. people think my kids are mad because they go around saying things like 'hark a bird' or 'behold a green car'.
Where can I to learn abt it in detail?
