Sod in Bri...mitzi<br />thanks to wikipedia<br />this may help<br />Sod in British English is a somewhat offensive, pejorative term for a person, derived from sodomite[1] but rarely nowadays used with this meaning. As an insult, it is generally teamed with 'off', i.e., 'sod off' meaning to get lost/go away/stop bothering me/fuck off. It can generally be applied to refer to a person in a most basic sense and frequently preceded by a modifying adjective (“That crazy sod almost ran me over!”). It can be used as many different parts of speech – e.g. in the imperative mood, “Sod off, you slag!”; or in adjective form, “sodding bastard”. Such uses as “Sod it!” and “Sod this” are often exclamations of frustration.John Going Gentlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14958171262765033946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-72648227515596351402012-10-25T10:34:12.955+00:002012-10-25T10:34:12.955+00:00This is the second blog from across the pond that ...This is the second blog from across the pond that I read the word 'sod'.

And I do agree about that bantam - hens always seem to me to be alive or dead - there is little in between - but hope she survives - I did once have a little white bantam who got attacked by my two geese and she was a death's door when I found her,but she bounced back and lived a few years longer.<br />If you keep a menagerie then expect a series of crises.
