Well, I thought I was just making a humourous comment, but thanks for the
detailed expansion of my one-liner.  Personally, I dislike "new verbs" and
refuse to "fax" anything.  I also don't "telephone" people, but this might
have more to do with living in a German-speaking country now, where people
call each other rather than telephone.

There's no such thing a as "wrong thread" when it comes to Monty Python,
but I'm wondering, do you also dress up in woman's clothing and hang
around in bars ?

Personally I draw the line at skipping and jumping and pressing wild
flowers

Here's my startup page for Netscape btw, http://www.pythonline.com/

Well, I like it.  Good old-fashioned, colorful, ever-inventive British
slang. (God love it!)  In fact, I don't think that's new one at all.  I'm
surprised you've never come across it before.

But do you really wear that costume when you go walking in the woods?

Correct David. For the uninitiated, it is pronounced theave when used in
this context.

Yes...good point Stephen (the "telephone" verb).  That's one that was so
close to my nose that I didn't even see it. :-)

The verb "to thieve", I've come across.
The verb "to thief", I've only ever come across in here.

Alas, no. That disappeared (along with those of many, many others) when my
rather large "Little Black Book" was stolen by a gang of envious male
persons some years ago.

Exactly my thoughts at the time of the incident, Uncle.  Stir-frying certain
body parts, whilst still attached, of course, seemed most appropriate.

Very appropriate I'd say, if of course we are talking about the same
body parts...
