Pinny





Pinny" is a really silly word, short for pinafore.


It’s a
sleeveless garment worn as an apron. Pinafores may be worn by girls as a decorative garment and by both girls and women as a protective
apron





My mother wore one as did most women of
her generation

She had the complete set, slippers as well !




Nowadays long aprons are worn in posh bistro restaurants and look superb :~))

Mid Life Crisis










Translation....

Man: 5 years ago darling, we had a tiny apartment, a 2nd hand car and we slept on a mattress on the floor. But I slept with a sexy young woman.... ....
Now we have a luxurious villa, a BMW, a big plasma TV and we sleep in a huge water bed, but you are nearly 50......


Woman: Darling, the only thing you need to do is to look for a sexy young blond. Then I can quickly make sure that you live in a tiny apartment, drive around in a 2nd hand car and sleep on the floor again.....

Flirting

Origin:

Mid 16th century: apparently symbolic, the elements fl- and -irt both suggesting sudden movement; compare with  flick and  spurt. The original verb senses were ‘give someone a sharp blow’ and ‘sneer at’; the earliest noun senses were ‘joke, jibe’ and ‘flighty girl’

Whereas Wikipedia has : Flirting is non-physical sexual communication between two people to negotiate mutual attraction through body language and verbal tactics.

 
<< It can be romantic







or totally practical >>
