This will only be meaningful to the handful of Brits who know what I am on about, and out of them even fewer will find it funny. No offence meant and - I hope - no offence taken.
A fellow Archers addict (ok, I admit it) has a good theory on the way this is going. Lexi will go for tests and be told that she is already pregnant - by Roy. Sounds like a cunning twist to me. If any of the writers read this then I am sure that they will pinch it anyway.
I looked this up and I read all about The Archers, which I know from being an American fan of The Jam (Life at a Top People's Health Farm), and I know about Ian and Adam being a married couple, but the deep context of this joke eludes me. Oh well. At least I can go away with Weaver's "This is all double Dutch to me" which I will use the next time I need to say "Fuck Off", but classy, like.
It means something very rude, Vivian, so it is a good thing you don't know what. I'm not sure the Double Dutch saying is a substitute for a good old, no-nonsense 'fuck off'.

ReplyDeleteThe vinegar stroke?
DeleteI haven't heard that phrase for years!
DeleteIt was a myth even in the 50's and 60's.
DeleteI had to look it up.
DeleteI am having a lot of laughs with this post. I like the image of you looking it up.
DeleteI had a laugh and a smile at you and the vinegar stroke, in the nicest possible way.
DeleteIt's not just for fish and chips, you know.
