Title: What is THAT?
Post by: SnakeLogic on October 28, 2006, 13:17:17: A little help understanding you lot, please.

Sorry for my ignorance, but as I'm an American who has been living in Japan for several years, I've no idea what you guys are talking about when you mention certain things. Please clue me in.

1. What's a SWM?? It seems to refer to a wife, but I may be missing something.

2. What's a beer voucher? An actual voucher for BEER? If these are typically used in lieu of money, I'm moving to the UK (I'd like my salary in beer vouchers, please). These are good in pubs? Supermarkets? Could somebody post a photo of one?

3. What's a Tomtom? As a former drummer, I'm familiar with rack toms, floor toms, even RotoToms, but I've never kept one on my dash.

I'm sure you're getting a good chuckle at my expense, and I suppose I deserve it. In any case, please let me know.

Thanks.

SWMBO is She Who Thinks She Must Be Obayed, and you will often see SWTMBO She Who THINKS She Must Be Obayed.

Beer tokens is a promise of a drink in exchange for goods or services:

Help me change my tyre and I'll pay you with beer tokens

This would infer, help me change my tyre and I'll provide beer, or take you out for a drink afterwards. Similarly, you can offer beer tokens to people far away, on he promise that you will get them a drink next time you meet.

Post by: Range Rover Blues on October 29, 2006, 01:05:55: Beer tokens, hmm probably influenced by the fact that our pounds now comes in coins (small change) rather than notes or bills. you can have 10 pounds or more in your pocket and it looks like small change.

so 2 of these gets you a beer. Ch*** I used to go out for the evening with only Ã‚Â£2 on me, 2 bottles of dog and chips on the way home :roll:

Post by: Range Rover Blues on October 29, 2006, 01:56:00: Can I tell the joke now about wire rope being invented by 2 scotsmen fighting over a penny?

Sorry, couldn't resist. I'd imagine a pound goes a little further in Scotland too though.

Post by: Skibum346 on October 29, 2006, 01:58:21: A pound may go further... but that's only cuz I've had to move all the way down to Englandshire to find work! :lol:
