 Brilliant sig, Isis! All these hours in front of your PC are not wasted!

PS. I wasn't being a bully earlier.... I was talking from experience: when I picked up my youngest at playschool today, another little girl had a coat the same shade of pink as the border-table-top and -bottom, on the site I'm currently writing ! I should get out more, I know

I've found why! Good old Wikipedia:

And all because of the Beatles (kookookudju)

It could mean something quite dubious in French!  Still, that arch-baddy was known as Robotnik in France.

Okay I will bite.....Do tell of examples where language gets twisted by different cultures

Indeed.. but hey, we're on the "Non-technical section" so we can talk cr p as much as we like imho yeah lol omg rofl
I've got the feeling this Banter section gets as many views as pretty much all the others combined - putting it like that, what a responsibility   

As for odd and amusing twists of language, I think there were a few photos posted on the Best funny emails thread. I'll try and dig them out if I've got a minute. Then again, I'm sure many people have their own version of them, stored away in their PC!

Crikey, I've just read this thread and that stuff on "dinghy sinking in our own bile mugs"

How dare they say that about this forum.

I got a gif for them, all I gotta do is work out how to get it on there. I'll start by kicking down the door......
