It would appear that certain phrases do not carry well over the internet. In this area, to 'loose ones marbles', is to be mentally disorientated. I had better not use other expressions such as, 'Going for my bait'. You might think it has something to do with fishing. Instead of which it means that I am 'going out for a spot of lunch' I got caught out a few years ago, on an occasion when I had to give evidence at Newcastle Crown Court. In my evidence I had to use the phrase, 'Why aye man'. The twelve members of the jury, geordies all, knew exactly what I meant, but 'Hiz Honor' the judge, stopped the trial until it was explained to him exactly meaning of those words. I still don't know if he was having a joke at my expense. I will try and be more careful in future. Regards Roy J. |
