I thought I was a middled-aged sleaze but it's FAR FAR worse!

I tipped over to me mate's place earlier. She'd received a Christmas gift of some nice teacups from her aunt. They were nice but hardly contemporary.

Floral design.

Choco: "Aah, shur all you're missing now is a "Lazy Susan"

A : "What's a Lazy Susan?"

At this point, a sensible (nay sober) man would have stopped digging.

Unfortunately, Choco is neither.

I end up not only explaining what a "Lazy Susan" is, but go on to explain that a swatch is not a trendy watch, but a selection of Tweeds from which you can have your next skirt made.

It turns out that I'm not an oily, greasy, hairy-chested gold medallion wearing Lothario.

I'm actually a repressed 80 year old spinster.

So, AHers, I guess my question is, "Have you ever used words or phrases or behaved in a way that made you question whether you know yourself?"

I'd be particularly interested in hearing from country-bred financial traders, working for Goldmann-Sacchs (spelling?) in the IFSC.

Sitting down to a power-breakfast, *clapping hands together* "Jaysus lads that's the shtuff"

If anyone needs me, I'll either be in The Eagle House, drowning my sorrows, or in the Dundrum Library every second Friday between 2-4, playing Scrabble, and discussing how it's impossible to get a good pair of sensible shoes in this village anymore.
