Euphemisms -
I'm watching ' Eat St ' , a show that highlights truck food across the U.S. but does include Toronto , London , Eng . etc
A sandwich truck has a sandwich that includes ' face bacon '. OK , Face bacon ?
They carve the meat off the pig's head. They will tell people its ' jowly ' and if the customers don't get it , its the customers fault.
They sell out the face bacon sammie ( sandwich ) every day.
In T.O. , there is a deli truck. BTW , T.O. is very strict on street food.
The deli truck uses words from Yiddish , such as kimmel which means fennel plus the winner , schmaltz or ' rendered chicken fat '
Lots of schmaltz, right
Politicians have their phrases:
A thorough review is under way
We have a process
Its working its way through the system
All the above, generally means ' don't have a clue , what's going on
and there's not much that can be done
Weather in the GWN. GG , there maybe hope ,if I can not freeze to-day , the week end might hit , 40 ++ but heavier rain
On our wish list , is a used or cheaper copy of ' the Best Exotic Marigold Hotel '. I've seen tBEMH three times , twice on the plane , going and coming ( which means I only missed 30 % of the dialogue ) and once I got to see the last 20 minutes ( uninterrupted ).I still thought it was excellent
