Re: "Ginger, You're balmy"

It would seem that it jolly well ought to be "barmy" since that NOW means insane or stupid where balmy (NOW) means pleasant without extremes.

BUT balmy USED to have the same meaning as barmy...


These archaic usages and words drive me up the wall. I have Charles Coburn singing
He'd never round upon a pal
Unless it filled his gick

Gick? Gick! What on earth is "gick"?
