: "The nuts" yet another meaning for good, unsure which
: variety of nuts we're talking about here...;-)
: Rich
To be more precise, it's "the ducks nuts" which alludes to the crem de la crem.
You think that English is strange, try 'strine! (Australian) Here we call a person with red hair "blue" and everyones name ends in O, like Jeffo, Ricko, Marko, not to mention the thousands of other phrases like "dry as a dead dingoes donger" ie:thirsty, or if you are busy, you are "flat out like a lizard drinking.", but hey, that is what makes us what I am. Not complaining here. 7th generation from convict stock and proud as. Best thing that ever happened when he nicked that blanket and got caught.
Having said that, at times I think the world of horology is on a par. Where a faded watch face is described as
"tropical." A fake is a 'homage."
And yes, I too digress. You Ron are not alone with your OTD and a couple of glasses!
