crisps are chips and chips are fries
Last week, the partners bought new seating for foyer. The chair; a cubic little deal made out of firm, smooth, poured foam and available in a range of colours is called "Pouf".
Today they arrived and the cretive director, a devote Methodist, was extactic and exclaimed how "Finally we have a whole bunch of Poufs!"
"Thank God!" I replied. "Now I don't feel so alone."
Only the british lady got it.
« translation » Pouf is british slang for "fag". "Fag" is british slang for "cigarette".
Now, I'm usually pretty good at reading icons - Like these, for example, on the side of the Pouf boxes:
WEATHERPROOF - got it.
NOT FRAGILE - sure
THIS END UP - gotcha
* snicker *
But this one?
RINGO STAR-COMPATIBLE? - not entirely clear on that one.
