ok so no it was Tuesday!
Clive came in from an exasperating day at the office, having been shuffling mad bits of paper from intellectual nut-cases or more formally.. sorting News Drafting Suggestions for the new Oxford English Dictionary, whereby words not yet in the dictionary are proposed by the public, then researched, validated, and agreed or rejected by commitee.
As the new edition of the OED is due out soon (AD 2040), there's a lot of competition now to get new words in in time, with related academic kudos!
Gemma greeted Clive as usual at the front door with a cheery "Anything happened at the office today darling?" as she lovingly brought him his pipe and slippers (bubble pipe of course).
"Labradoodle!" he replied.
(sound of convulsions of mirth and wetting of knickers!)
After the guffaws had subsided, and Gemma had settled Clive down with his usual home made steak and kidney pie and chips! (NOT!), it was time for CORRIE.
We're in't Rovers now and Kirk say's to 'Fizz' (a big ginger trollette) in a touching scene of (as it's known in Hertford Street as) 'Soap-Gold' ie a touching moment of outstanding drama!
"She's my little Labradoodle".
So have you heard any new words off the telly you want put in the dictionary.. hurry because Clive says 'L' for Labradoodle
is scheduled to be collated in 2023 AD.
