I just learned/learnt two more while have British friends visiting last weekend: kerfuffle = a lot of fuss, a big "to do" fringe = bangs (as in hair cut across the forehead at eyebrow level) Anyone know how we came to use "bangs" in the US? I must admit that "fringe" actually makes a lot more sense! I do really like the word "kerfuffle" <g> Vicki in Maryland To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
