Boy, its so f:@king HOT in London I almost feel like crying. I actually told the Sun to 'leave me alone' out on my fag break.

HATE IT ITS AWFUL.

AAAAAAArgh.

Needed to get that out.

paulmh · 07-19-2006, 08:27 AM

v hot in Lancashire too and what's worse is that I had meetings out all day - had to wear clothes!

Maybe we Brits need a "weather in recovery" forum.

PaperDolls · 07-19-2006, 08:30 AM

Boy, its so f:@king HOT in Kansas. The high is expected to be 101 and it's not a dry heat either -- with the dew point it will feel like 110!

I feel for ya Five......

Okay, this is totally OT but where does the term Fag come from? When we say that in the US, it's bad! Fag break here does not mean Smoke break.

Dont know about the fag thing. Paul???

It means homosexual in the US. Tricky for me saying things out there like 'I have just had a fag'.

Blake · 07-19-2006, 08:45 AM

Yup - and to me it's a derogatory term for homosexual. I think to most in the US it is. I was just curious. I remember the first time I heard some use that term for smoking -- and I was so confused.

Blake -- steamed vegetables? LOL That cracked me up!

What type of veggie?

Five · 07-19-2006, 09:03 AM

I see - yeah, it has got a certain venom.

It is for smoking. 'Fags' are smokes. I use it so much because cigggerettetess is such a hard word to spell.

Yeah -- cigggerettetess -- it's a toughy for sure! I know Fags are smokes - now I know that but didn't used to. I was just curious how it came about. I'm not offended by it when I know someone is using it as a smoke.

bahookie · 07-19-2006, 09:16 AM

hot in glasgow and we've moving office for the past 2 days. last night when i got home I couldn't speak I was so knackered!
i really don't want to move any other furniture, even the janitors were sweating buckets by 8am.

ps I've just had a fag too

PaperDolls · 07-19-2006, 09:29 AM

I've never had a fag but I smoke way too much. I've had a lesbian, but not while smoking.

seriously, we've been together for 8 years.

Alright - what's knackered? I seriously need a dictionary.

Five · 07-19-2006, 09:32 AM

To some its: tired.

Otehrs its a place where horses go to get that nuts chopped off

bahookie · 07-19-2006, 09:33 AM

PaperDolls · 07-19-2006, 09:35 AM

You've got to be kidding me Five!

Five · 07-19-2006, 09:38 AM

Nope. People in England mean when they say knackered they mean 'tired'. But a Knacker yard is where horses go to dispense of their...er...parts.

PaperDolls · 07-19-2006, 09:52 AM

Well darn -- why would one knacker a horse?

Nope - the horse one is wrong. In horse world knackers are either horses only fit for the knackers yard (YARD where nuts are chopped off and in the old days horses stepped into a new career as adhesives) OR Knackers can be the testicles (eg a male horse with no knackers is a gelding!).

I think 'Knackered' meaning tired came from the word being used for broken down horses (signifying their fate and future relationship with envelopes).

These days butchers no longer castrate horses - the vet does it but places where horses are slaughtered for meat are still refered to as 'knackers yard'!!

It's an old world we live in.....

AND IT IS TOO BLOODY HOT!!!

As a gay man I think it's a fabulous idea!!! "Hey boss, I'm going for a fag break!" The smokers disappear all the time...now I can too. Lets legalize it!

daveagle · 07-19-2006, 06:12 PM

well i am over here in Bristol U.K.-it is 1.00 am and it is baking-today i went for a haircut then came home, sat down and fell asleep for 2 hours cos of the heat-how crap is that-i picked up my son from school and the car was torture-too hot to drive-tomorrow will be worse if we believe the reports

2dayzmuse · 07-19-2006, 08:06 PM

I'm sorry you all are roasting and melting. For the life of me though, I can't seem to figure it out. Here it is the middle of Summer and it is a mild 68* degrees here in Washington state. It has been this way the entire summer. Are you kidding me? It should at least be in the high 80s*, at least. I just don't get it? I think the polar ice caps are moving in or something. You wanna cool off? Come on down...but you better bring your mittens.
