People saying bonjour when they are leaving? and fit birds?? I've never met so many males into ornithology!!

Assistance required on the double please!

Doodle Bugs were German flying bombs in WWII ? So no idea why they called you that.

 

[BrightonBird]

Don't know what doodle bug is! Maybe she can't stop doodling pictures of flowers etc (I tend to do this in meetings).

Suprised you haven't heard the expression Trollyed before. How long have you been in England for?

Bonjour is taken from ONly Fools and Horses - Del Boy said that every time he said goodbye!

A DOODLEBUG (GERMAN V-1 ROCKET)

A V-1, aka "buzzbomb" and "doodlebug," in flight. The V-1 was not really a rocket, but rather a jet-propelled, aerial torpedo with wings. The "V" stands for Vergeltungswaffen which is German for "vengeance weapon." It was first launched against London on June 13, 1944; the last was launched in early September 1944. A total of 2,419 crash-dived into London. Approximately 5500 people were killed by V-1s.

When my mum told me about doodle bugs it gave me nightmares. They were unmanned rocket bombs that were launched at England, and the amount of fuel in them determined where they would land, and unsurprisingly they weren't too accurate. My mum used to listen to them come over at night, and if she heard one splutter and conk out then she knew there would be an explosion when it dropped to the ground and hoped that it wasn't on her house! The tension must have been unbelievable.

well not sure how to take that remark then... I shall ponder my response to him..

BB I've been here quite a while now, about 4 years actually - but things never cease to confuse me

 

[tedebear]

actually whilst I'm at it ...

shag! I've never understood why you call it this??

 

[Rowdey]

Doodle is a used as a friendly/affectionate term for 'mate' or similar..

i.e When meeting a mate "Allright doodle, how you doing.."
(similar to) "Allright Star, how you doing.."

First heard them both up in 'Woollyhamton' years ago and use 'em myself..

Guess the 'bug' tag might be a female offshoot...?

 

[BrightonBird]

It's def an English saying. My aMerican mate finds it very amusing!

Shag

Its origins are obscure. It’s first recorded by Francis Grose in his Classical Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue of 1785. It’s thought by some to derive from an older sense of the verb that meant to shake about. We don’t know where that came from, either, though it’s probably connected to shake. This meaning fits the later one very well and it’s similar to the way that frig evolved (incidentally, a word whose constituency is pretty much the inverse of shag, being much better known in America than in Britain): at first this meant to move back and forth and then later evolved senses like to copulate and to masturbate. In the nineteenth century, shag was considered very vulgar in Britain and examples in print are rare (perhaps the best known is from that invaluable Victorian word fount, lexicographically speaking, the porno newsletter Pearl). The noun, for an act of copulation, dates only from the 1930s.

There are several other meanings of the word, including one which has the same origin as shaggy, used for a type of tobacco, for a sort of cloth or carpet (as in shag-pile), and as one name for various species of cormorant, which have a shaggy crest. Americans know it as a dance, the origin of whose name is disputed; they may also use it to mean to move quickly, to chase or pursue, or to retrieve something, as in baseball.

ahhhh that sounds better - didn't like being called some kind of bomb!! thanks - I feel better now...

Me neither. But it's an anagram of gash.

Doodlebugs are also known here as Maybugs, or as the Yanks call 'em - Junebugs. Very loud, hairy, bee-sized insects women are petrified will stick in their hair.

I wouldn't be too quick as doodlebug is a term used when referring to someone who is a fool or a simpleton.

It comes from the german word dudel which means a fool.

Like Brummie is a term used when referring to someone who is thick etc.

this is just like a game of call my bluff!

 

[BrightonBird]

sO...lET ME GET THIS RIGHT (and turn off my caps lock).

Tedebear is either:

- being called a doodlebug as a term on endearment (like Flower)
- He wants to bomb her
- He thinks she is thinck.

Tedebear, I think it's a term of endearment and he likes you.

 

[BrightonBird]

- He thinks she is thinck.

I can't even spell thick! Another typo error

 

[Tooting Gull]

I've never heard anyone called a doodle bug, very bizarre. Maybe he thinks you've flown into his airspace and the whole thing's about to explode between you. Be careful, consult your horoscope before it all crashes and burns.
