Also, Alsatian = German Shepherd. Alsace. Right. I'm still not entirely sure what treacle is.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

I sort of think of it like Karo. Which is nasty. But you do use it in pecan pie, which is good. Which I'm pretty sure they don't make in Britain.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
The pictures of treacle tart I googled do look very much like pecanless pecan pie.

Treacle is syrup made from cane sugar.

Wow, flea is me! I was REALLY confused about "Electric Torch". Instead of a flashlight, I pictured some sort of fake plastic flaming stick of wood.

I was surprised to find out how many people didn't know a punt is a type of boat and thought Filch was drop-kicking students across the Weasley swamp.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I pictured some sort of fake plastic flaming stick of wood.
I still do.
Oh, I know what it really means but if I could buy a flashlight that looked like a flaming stick of wood, I totally would. I prefer to think that Brits can and do.

I remember this kid called me a faggot in 3rd grade and I was SO confused, because my reading had only taught me a faggot was a bundle of wood.
I was all "How is this an insult? Huh?"
