euphemism of the day...

[anglo-saxon]

The other day I overheard a conversation describing a woman thought to be a bit of a psycho. In it, she was described as a "Rabbit boiler".

The oblique reference to Glen Close's character in "Fatal Attraction" caused me to laugh ot loud.

I can't say I've boiled any rabbits in my time, but I have known several read-heads over the years who probably have!

"Rabbit boiler". Good one! I think I'll keep it!

Correct reference is to a "Bunny Boiler" (see Loz)
NOT TO BE CONFUSED with a Bunny Burner
See Loz, again

Prime crow duty after the madatory morning inspection failure: Clean out the bunny burners in the transit quarters.

"Bunny boiler, it is". Takes a while for "proper Engish" to take root with us colonials. Too much influence from south of the border...all those "dreadful Americans in their pointy boots and electric blue polyester leisure suits", don't you know.

'Dagenham' as in 'he's Dagenham',
as in 'two stops short of Barking'.

'Harpic' as in 'are you Harpic',
as in the bleach which can 'clean round the bend'.
