My friend Rosey hates it when ‘common people’ refer to a cup of tea as a ‘cuppa rosey lee’. She says they are taking her name in vain. When I pointed out that ‘rosey lee’ is Cockney rhyming slang for tea and therefore perfectly acceptable, she just shrugged!
When I was making her a ‘cuppa rosey lee’ the other afternoon, I asked what cup size she has, meaning does she usually have it it in a large cup or one of those fancy little bone china ones. You should have seen the look she gave me! I made a right boob of myself, it must be catching.
She once referred to crossing the road as cupping. When I asked why, she grinned and said ‘because I runneth over!’
That reminds me, she needed a new broom handle the other day. (how she broke the old one, I decided not to ask) She went to the hardware shop in town and bought a white one. It was a sunny day so she was wearing her sunglasses. On her way home, every time she went to cup – sorry, cross the road, the traffic stopped for her. Someone even offered to help her across to the other side. It took her a while to realise why!
Bless her!

You are so right, she sees things nobody else does – or so she says!

Thanks for my morning chuckle. Cup size! Hilarious.
