[NOTE - * is inserted in case any small children are reading this.] Usage examples -- 'That's BS', 'Don't give me any BS, 'Donald Trump is full of BS', 'Cut the BS', Political speeches often referred to as 'the usual BS'. How do you say it 'bullocks'?<br /><br />So what is funny about BS? Well, everything. And BS n BS is funny times 2. The fact that you used it as a short form for Bits n Bobs without realizing the widespread [and I mean truly ubiquitous - there are books written about it] use here in the non-Queen's English part of the English speaking world adds another dimension. <br /><br />Does this make me warped or, in any way, special? No - just North American. <br /><br />So coming full circle -- if we were to insert your word, the theme would be - The B[ullock]s n B[ullock]s Musical Christmas Advent Calendar Thingy [I love that word] 2015.<br /><br />TA DA.<br /><br />MMarynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1705434510664520110.post-90531021904338410612015-12-11T10:32:46.395+01:002015-12-11T10:32:46.395+01:00I'm lost - what is funny about BS?

Well everyday since Dec. 1, I looked at BsnBs which I often refer to as BnB's [reminiscent of a style of accommodation], and sometimes, to myself, I think of it as 'Bitsy Bob's' -- don't ask me why. But with Bs n Bs I thought you had planted BS twice into the longish Thingy 2015 title but it appears that it was unintended. accident. Very cute really. <br /><br />And am enjoying my morning winter and soon holiday-inspired song selected especially for your readers. 15 degrees here so not very wintry or holiday feeling right now.<br /><br />MMarynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1705434510664520110.post-40104999663057387242015-12-10T06:30:35.829+01:002015-12-10T06:30:35.829+01:00Mary - much though i'm happy to activate your ...Mary - much though i'm happy to activate your nose i think it was inadvertently this time.<br />What on earth do you see in BsnBs that i am missing?poppshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08976320013870023366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1705434510664520110.post-63570428728202433622015-12-09T22:38:17.056+01:002015-12-09T22:38:17.056+01:00It took me 9 days but I finally noticed that the &...It took me 9 days but I finally noticed that the 'snappy' title includes 'Bs n Bs'. Not sure you intended it the way that I have taken it, but it gave me a 'coffee squirting out the nose' laugh. Thank you.<br /><br />PS to DaveEsl -- good song!<br /><br />MxMarynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1705434510664520110.post-42621174554278797382015-12-09T13:51:34.669+01:002015-12-09T13:51:34.669+01:00Yep!

I don't know if it means I'm getting old or what, but here's what just transpired in my head.<br /><br />(O, Chris posted a comment on my blog, I should go check out his blog. A musical advent calendar, nice. Hey, Frightened Rabbit! One of my favorite bands! What are the odds that I should visit his blog on the very day that he post one of their songs?!? Hey, someone named Dave recommended this. What a coincidence. Oh. It was me. Absolutely no recollection.)<br /><br />Anyways. Great song. :)<br /><br />And thanks for checking out my blog, even though it's pretty much deceased. Between no longer teaching and having a baby, I don't really touch it. It's basically archival at this point.DaveESLetchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11793120459717978539noreply@blogger.com
