I'm off to bed and will be leaving The Prof in charge of the critters for a couple of days
I have only one thing of any note to share and that is
a conversation with a well spoken and prim colleague who rang me up early this morning.
The woman and I had a general and pleasant conversation which had almost finished
when she asked me if I could help her
" someone called me " bell end " this morning " she said
" really?" I said
" Yes, a mouldy old BELL-END..what IS .... a bell-end?
Bless!!!!
I was enjoying the idea of 'the old bulldog beginning to stir' when you went to bed in the last post.
ReplyDelete'A Belle-end'; one who surpasses all others in the beauty stakes.
ReplyDeleteBless her heart, what a nasty person that was.
ReplyDeleteThat person was an A** Hole ..
I so agree with you. What a awful thing to have said.
DeleteWhat a mean person to have said that.
cheers, parsnip
Oh My! I had to Google that one. Here in the colonies, we'd say someone is a d*ck, or is being a d*ck or acted like a d*ck etc etc etc. Lately, the word's been associated a lot with Donald (t)Rump.
ReplyDeleteand rightly so. That man has stirred up some serious ugliness here.
DeleteAmongst other things, not so nice
ReplyDeleteBell End is a village in the English county of Worcestershire. It is situated approximately 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) south-east of Hagley on the A491, north of Bromsgrove and close to Kidderminster, Stourbridge and Halesowen. It lies in the local government district of Bromsgrove.
Well I never, have lived in this area all my life and never heard of it!
DeleteHaving lived much of my life in that area, I remember Bell End fairly well. It's always on the way to somewhere else, a blink and you'll miss it sort of place.
DeleteI see your Bell End and raise you our Twatt...a parish in Orkney...
DeleteOh my.
ReplyDeleteI learn so much from you, John Gray.
ReplyDeleteGod help me, it will be me asking people things like that soon... I have been known to ask things like this already... ho hum as you would say...
ReplyDeleteShe didn't happen to mention the author of the comment, did she? How unpleasant!
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what that is. I am off to Google it post haste! :)
ReplyDeleteOh. Well then.
ReplyDeleteLots of googling this afternoon from us innocents!
ReplyDeleteIs this the post you are leaving us with until late on Christmas Day? I am disappointed.

ReplyDeleteYawn.....nooooo, i shall post tomorrow x
DeleteAnd I will say it twice.
ReplyDeleteBut Michelle said it only once !
DeleteWe say dickhead in the states. And often when it comes to politicians. :) I sort of like bellend and may use it since most folks I know have no idea what it means either. LOL
ReplyDeleteI used to enjoy surprising my husband with a string of x rated words about nothing much lol
ReplyDeleteIt is more amusing / surprising when there is no particular reason to just blurt out M*er f*er or D* head ...
Is this the post you are leaving us with until late on Christmas Day ?
I am disappointed too.
*I am saving Rachel from posting again (lol)

ReplyDeleteI had to look that one up (thank you google!) Is an insult, really an insult, if the intended target does not know what it means?
ReplyDeleteI have been called the translation of that on occasion, when I really deserved it. I am really trying to be nicer - very trying at times.
It's a good thing Santa is coming but Karma is right behind him!
ReplyDeleteI would rather assume that a bell-end refers to the end of a bell. A mouldy old bell-end would probably be found in a church, having been dinged only rarely. Bell-ends that are dinged regularly do not go mouldy. People read too much into innocent use of plain language. Happens to me all the time.
ReplyDeleteI had to google it. What a truly offensive thing to say.
ReplyDeleteI hope that if you did explain you did so in a quiet and respectful way (lying?).
ReplyDeleteLol!! A bell end isnt such a bad thing, really. I'm quite fond of them.
ReplyDeleteI had never heard this phrase before today.
ReplyDeleteNew one to me. I thought about what might look what might resemble a bell, or the end of one. Maybe I am on the wrong track though. DH?
ReplyDeletethe word that got to me was 'mouldy' ...
ReplyDeleteAnother innocent here, but I shan't bother Googling; I get the drift of previous posts, thanks. What on earth did you tell her? Did you just say, "It's not a nice thing to say" and leave it at that? Shocked of Cornwall!

ReplyDeleteOoh, that's a new one for me, too! Classy T-shirt in the Christmas photo. I assume that's not a friend of yours. Talk about a bell-end.
