(just to clear the air on the slang..*grin*...I confess to mixing 'real', if not common, slang with made up stuff and composing a totally semi-meaningless phrase to make a point.)

I read many years ago, in Mad magazine, the phrase, "It's crackers to slip a rozzer the dropsy in snide"....and thought it was just a cute little bit of nonsense Mad had made up....but then a WWW search revealed that if you are from certain parts of the UK, and are of the right age, it was clear and referred to something like 'it's ok to fool or trick a constable/policeman in certain situations' (I forget the exact formulation.)

So I just invented a verb that sounded like an assult and added a noun that I think is a slang word for a sandwich and created a bit of the shorthand Ebbie refers to.

I did this to show just how bewildering it can be in an international forum to use phrases like "Auntie Beeb" with no explanation or context. It was 'all in fun', but with a pointed jab at those who can't or won't avoid their local expressions..(or at least translate them) when sharing the space with others.

"Auntie Beeb" is a minor transgression, but sometimes it gets really dense and confusing.

So...back to our regularly scheduled political wrangling...
