Today is Day Eleven of this cold. I just can't seem to shake it. In the words of the French, it is trés desplicablé. I may have made that word up. Or I may not. I just don't have a clue. But my morning ramblings are not about being ill. Instead I would like to tell you the tale of getting caught by the myLot Wordage Police. I wrote about a man with a cigarette in his mouth, except I didn't use the word cigarette. I used a word that is ordinary British slang. It begins with f, ends in g and has an a in the middle ... f a g ... No! said the myLot Wordage Police, in big red letters. This is completely unacceptable! Change it to something better or we won't publish your post!* they snarled. The peaky blinders. {I have no idea what that means, but I like it. I should watch the telly show as it seems fairly popular.} So, as I sit here on the bus, on the way to spend the day with Baby Niece and her chicken pox, I would like to conduct an experiment. If I can get away with this, then I shall shake my fists angrily at the myLot Wordage Police. My fanny is terribly sore! Results of the experiment are thus: It worked! *shakes fists angrily at the myLot Wordage Police* Conclusion: I may talk about my sore fanny, but not mention somebody smoking a f a g whilst feeding their p u s s y cat. Seriously myLot, your filter is a bit biased. *I am of course paraphrasing; I can't remember the exact words. **For those of you who have lived sheltered lives and are unaware, the word 'fanny' is British slang for lady bits.

"très desplicablé??? jamais entendu" desplicablé is a word I surely never heard, I do not believe it exists in French, but I hope that you can feel better soon.

Remove the accent to find the English word behind.

@LadyDuck I would say "C'est abominable" here. 11 days of cold can be "abominables", maybe also "abjects", but not "méprisables".

@topffer I know it exists in English (of course no accent), can we say "méprisable"?

I tried to write a post about small garden birds, it didn't like that either. Sorry about the cold, somehow having a horrible cold when the weather is nice seems even worse than having one in the depths of winter.

She is ... However, we're all hoping this means her immune system will be really strong when she's older! In the meantime we shall all just have to suffer too!
