Sorry - didn't mean it as a puzzle. Perhaps it was just obvious to me as it seems to creep in every time someone posts about manure, dung, faeces, animal/human "waste". Why does a thread title using the correct terminology then quickly revert to Toddler Talk ? I'm afraid I just find it so childish ( hence the apology to any 3 year old using the forum ) and it is even more annoying that the medical profession use it as a norm - extremely patronising to say the least. Pooh is of course entirely different - Manure Bear doesn't have quite the same ring to it somehow
No problem @Bee witched - at least the sound matches the action I'm afraid that for me Pooh with the H conjures up a completely different picture than when the H isn't used to describe Manure/Waste or choose your own word. I could be wrong but I son't recall the toilet activities of either Winnie or Pooh cropping up in my childhood reading Never mind - it could just be me after all and I've had my little rant on the appropriate thread - thanks to @B3 for starting it
Why don’t people die any more? Nowadays they all seem to pass.
Similarly, whether it is football or some reality TV show, what happened to tactics or the simple word plan? These days it is obligatory to say game plan.
They're still 'deid' here @BenCotto The word pass wouldn't really have worked very well in the Big Yin's famous joke about the wife who had died. The one he did on his first appearance on Parkinson. Brilliant
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
