And here's another for you, Kendall. I just had to point out to Spaw on the Women's World Cup thread "Go USA" that he was unwise to say that he had been watching the Japanese women's team in the WC, as WC here = water-closet = privy, lav, restroom &c. I presume he really didn't know that, & has made something of a floater ~~ I mean, watching the whole of a women's football team there!!!!
