It's that kinda woolly headed thinking that leads to being eaten.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I'm now earwormed with "Don't fence me in."
Don't ask why.
Also, billytea: please, never tell me that there really is a kind of worm that lives in your ear.

Many of them were political prisoners too, sent from Ireland for various seditious activities, freedom fighters really.
Also the Jacobites -fighters for Bonny Prince Charlie. The ones who weren't slaughtered were put on boats and shipped away.

I know what you're thinking: well then, why didn't they send him to New Zealand? Alas, the ways of British justice are at times unfathomable.
Gah-wuff!

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Ancestors are an exciting bunch, even when you don't have self-aggrandizing elderly relatives. None of mine, alas, have gone antipodean, except the branch of the family that spent time in Brazil as "missionaries" (read: Maryland slaveowners who wrenched a few more years out of their status quo before Brazil outlawed slavery) in the 1870s. They came home, chagrined and, I presume, fluent in Portuguese, some time around 1890.

Pomeranians? Pom-tiddly-poms? Do tell how this word is cheerily derogatory towards Britain. Or towards stupid people? Aspiring slangists want to know.
