Yes, that was the thrust of my post! 

 

Yes, I was not quite awake this morning when I wrote that. I should have expounded on it and not treated it as though you hadn't caught the drift! :D After my first cup of :coffee: , I am now alert and can follow the gist of conversation. :lol::lol:;)

 

I had an English friend who I used to email all the time years ago and she was talking to some yanks one day and said something (God how I wish I could remember the word) and they just about fell off their pub stools. Seems she said something innocent, that wasn't so innocent back home in the states. She was so embarrassed. :frown:

Blimey! You've got to be quick with answers here, James has beaten me to it.

 

All I can add is that it comes from old English - Blige Me - shortened from oblige me ??

 

Colin.
