Oh no you di'int! lol

Oh, I surely did.

We get it in the paper. Bucky is wholly unlovable, but I always had a soft spot for Satchel.

I agree, it's the one comic in the paper I skip.

But...but...in America, we're supposed to speak English!



;)

yeah, what happened to that?

They's was some dilly dang ding dong dudes who done stoled our talkin' good. Done stoled it from right under our noses.

(Sound of Ed Flanders' moustache being ripped out by the roots and stolen -- sounds kinda like velcro)

I admit that Get Fuzzy is hit and miss. But I always skim it, at least, because there are gems to be found.

The best ones are the combinations of Bucky's weird world view and his malapropisms. I thought this one was good.

And M^3 returns from time to time. I always enjoy those as well.

Get Fuzzy is one of my wife's favorite cartoons.

She has this one on her wall. Now we say "You can wordify that."

Today's Get Fuzzy has m^3 again. Here's his bit:

"Defo.
Knappers are flappy.
Chuck 'em in the wheelie bin."

Thanks to a previous bit on the cellar, we all know what a wheelie bin is.

Defo is definitely?

Knappers are flappy - These guys are nuts? What's a knapper exactly?

Never heard of knappers...Sundae is it a southern thing? What part of britain are they supposed to be?

Defo is definately yes.

New British phrase in my reading - this one from Naomi Novik's Black Powder War. "..., but puzzling out the means left them at sixes and sevens a while."

Had to look that one up.

I use that and the answer to life the universe and everything to help kids remember 6*7 -math and brit culture in one fell swoop :lol:

Almost a whole year later I can confirm that I've never heard of knappers either.
Not in the South, or London (as a specific region) or the East Midlands. And not even from my previously extensive Irish network.

Knackers, yes.
Nappers, possibly, but only in the form of to take a nap which I know crosses the pond.

Re sixes and sevens; there's a line in (Evita) Don't Cry For Me Argentina:
"All you can see is the girl you once knew/ although she's dressed up to the nines/ at sixes and sevens with you"
