I just ordered a belt from Land's End with a 40% discount and free shipping. I went to the site based on a marketing email and found that the paper catalog I had was featuring the same discount. So much for email marketing.

What is the origin of whillikers?

Whillikers
and its variant whillikens are used only in the exclamatory phrase (golly) gee whillikers (whillikens). There is no satisfactory etymology for whillikers or whillikens. Gee whillikens first appeared in print in 1851.

I thought "Lew" was what the British called the john. "Louie Louie" is what they call a bidet.
I thought that was the "loo".
Tis a wonder that those loopy Brits can even understand each
other...what with their strange perversions of the English language.

I know, right? Like they call a trunk a "boot." And they call a truck a "lorry." That's just plain wrong. And they don't seem to know the difference between a torch and a flashlight.

An elevator a lift, a wrench a spanner, & a prostitute a sister.

A guy I knew told of visiting England, and having a grand time at bar, where a woman asked him if he'd like to throw a leg up...

He only found out much later that he'd been propositioned...
