The time has come, I fear, to address Bossy's issues with shoes.
First off, Car Boots are not footwear for driving. Go back and read Part 5 properly. Honestly, the fuckwittage I have to put up with!
On the subject of boots, the Wellington Boot is a knee-length rubber boot designed for kids to splash in puddles with. Hence the expression "Giving It Welly".
Wellies are inedible, unlike Beef Wellington.
This seems like a perfect opporchancity to mention La Cubana Gringa. I've heard about Cuban Heels, but it wasn't until I read her blog that I realised what the term refers to.
You live and learn.
When I was at Primary School (first to seventh grade), we wore gumshoes to gym. The Merkan equivalent appears to be "sneakers".

Although why a wheelchair-bound detective should need sports footwear is beyond me.
The Stiletto, as any fule kno, is an Italian short sword.
But anyone can make a mistake. Especially with pictures like this to confuse you.
The Thong isn't English or Merkan, it's Australian. But being a sandal, it does count as a shoe.
And it gives me an excuse to show you - This!
Ner ner ne-ner ner.
you are a brilliant and weird man. i love the way your mind works.

ReplyDeleteyours Ironside!
Shouldn't they be floating upside down?
ReplyDeleteMr Farty, are you in fact Stephen Fry? If so, can you get me Alan Davis's autograph when you next shoot QI...
ReplyDeleteI don't class flip-flops as sandals. I think they're in a genre of their own.
ReplyDeleteLady M - Coming from someone who describes the search for the Higgs boson as casually as if it were an afternoon's shopping, I can only profess gobsmackedness.
ReplyDeleteIronside - Whoops! Busted...
Brom - Enough already. I hate it when the comments get funnier than the post.
Rilly - My dear lady, I may be Quite Interesting, but Mr Fry is Qualatatively Intruiging. And that Alan Davis bloke makes me snort coffee out my nose.
Cat - Meh. You put them on your feet and walk in them. On sand.
Genre is a good word.
Ok, I'm rambling now. Bye.
C'mon - everyone knows that Thongs sit betwixt the arse crack.
ReplyDeleteSince you are doing this lovely service, can you please define the word "Ming", as used in the sentance "Sewmouse has decided to ming up her blog..."?
ReplyDeleteBossy - Ew! I can't believe that!
ReplyDeleteSew - Hahahaha! I'll have to get back to you on that.
Hahahaha!
