Great idea! I imagine it being like Zoolander's Blue Steel, but classier. Way classier :)
I can try...........

YES! I've wanted to go to New Zealand ever since the Lord of the Rings movies. lol

When I was very young I once moved into an apartment, the previous tenant left no forwarding address, and had been receiving a newspaper from Auckland. It was in English, kind of ... :unsure:

So I looked in the Help Wanted ads. Found a whole column of listings for "Boner" ... :?: o_O

A neighbor explained its a word for a kind of butcher, the guy who removes the bones ... :blush:

Language sure is funny ... :D

I get looks sometimes when I am in my own vehicle.............they stare at me with that look of what are you illegally doing there....

Usually this is just annoying. But once when a car pulled up next to me at a light, and the driver started with the hand waving and fake coughing, with two rolled up windows between us, I had to pull over until I stop laughing hysterically ... :rolleyes:

Oh, wow! That is really great!

I'm actually realllllly into language, and thinking about studying linguistics, so this type of stuff cracks me up. I had a teacher who said he "made a boner" i class once. He meant he made a mistake, but we were 13 and apparently we thought something else.

I learned something that day I didn't know before and it changed my life. LOL :banana::banana::banana:

On a side note,I am always approached by people who do vape to see what item I am using,what juice, tank etc.I have only been insulted once,that was by a person in the VA hospital.I wasn't vaping there but was asked if I do smoke,I answered no,quit 3 years ago.

She said great and how did I quit.I said proudly, with an ecig in two days after over 45 years of 3+PAD of kools.she said,and I quote,"well ,you haven't quit smoking then" and logged that into my jacket (file).I told her to believe what she wants but remove that entry from my file.She stigmatized me and wanted that in my record.I called the head doc over,which I didn't realise vaped also and she had the nurse remove it.
