atw: Re: OT: English is such a marvelous language

And then, never overlook the possibility that it might be what it is <G>
Many many moons ago, I had, for a brief time, a BF who believed that a certain level of dirt and grime were "healthy" and that you did not ever need to wash your bath towels, as you used them on a freshly cleaned body and that could not possibly get the towel dirty or in need of cleaning. It seemed that my "tender" nose alone was able to detect the reeking aroma that arose from the grubby towels (true story - Iswear - he was actually a pretty bright guy, otherwise)

Hi All

I love the way the english language can give a very different slant to
what was intended.

Here is an extract from the online newsletter for the Australian Open:

"Official Player Towel

Don't miss your chance to own an authentic Australian Open towel used
by all of the players at the Australian Open!"

Wouldn't it be awfully grubby!
