I’ll be brief here for now.
If you’ve got any interesting stories about anything verbal, please get in touch. I’m currently the official ‘Word Spy’ for Radio 3’s The Verb, so would love to hear anything about anything like family phrases, football chants, advertising slogans – anything involving words!
And on that note, if you happen to notice any of the following unusal new words in print, please let me know immediately:
- HONK – meaning money
- TKDAY – meaning one’s 10,000th day alive
- MENTAL SAFARI – a series of rash acts
- PRATDIGGER – a pickpocket, or someone who always attracts idiots
- BOLLO – rubbish
Thank you.
Finally, if anyone fancies a game of golf, let me know. I’ve got until my 32nd birthday (10th September 2010 if you want to save the date) to get a hole-in-one. So far, I’ve only hit the green from the tee on one occasion. But I’m determined. Even if we just play a single hole, I’ll come and meet you almost anywhere.
And if you’d like to challenge me to any other sporting unlikelihood, do get in touch too. So far I’ve been given 24 hours to get a 180 in darts, a week to get a perfect 200 in ten-pin bowling, and as long as I want to get a set of perfect sixes in figure-skating.
Bye!
