    Hi David,
    I look the same when I say either. But then, I'm a Maid of Kent. From Chatham. We never could speak English proper.

      Hello Carol, then you are forgiven - as for Lynn, I don't know, he may have the mouth must be naturally twisted (heh-heh !).

          teeth

          Hello David. I'm afraid I don't count because most of my teeth are missing.

          Cheers.

              All extracted by his own hand. Lynn's a Scot. He pulled them out and left them under his pillow.

                rum job

                Hello David. No, the first one was so difficult the dentist fled and, if I recall properly, went to a monastery in Tibet.

                Cheers.

                  racial

                  Hello Robert. Nearly. I think bad teeth may be a racial characteristic.

                  Cheers.

                    That makes sense, but from what I have read on this site and other sources (admittedly not everything). It seems that JUWES/Juwes was not a known term before the GSG. I have seen rationalizations w/o credible documentation. Is there some credible documentation that supports Juwes existed before that night?

                        Should that be "properly"? It may be just American English that insists on such things.

                        huh?

                          The word "Juwes" can be a medieval spelling of "Jews." Also if you Google long enough, you'll see the odd modern usage of it to mean "Jews" - perhaps by a non-English speaker.

                            Hello Mike,

                            You're pulling my leg - aren't you?

                              I wish I could speak proper like what Mike does.

                                Carol was making a joke there, Mike.

                                I would have thought that you would have realised that.
