Such a great phrase. Sure, he's a Kiwi, but we don't hold that against him ;-) In America, I much enjoy the phrase "dumpster fire", which seems to have become a commonly-used adjective in the past year. ** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) FAQ: http://lists.4d.com/faqnug.html Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: http://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:4d_tech-unsubscr...@lists.4d.com **
Re: dog's breakfast
David Adams included this gem in a recent post: "It was enough of a dog's breakfast..." That's a phrase we don't hear enough of on this side of the pond. Thank you, David, for your enthusiastic use of language, programming or otherwise. It's always a pleasure to read your posts, whether or not I have a technical interest in them.
