Trigger Words

Agree on living room. I might use the word 'scent' for a man's fragrance, but not for a woman's... a woman's I'd always call perfume. And 'teatime' doesn't mean any time you have tea... does it?... so it's come to mean a certain time of day (when people presumably had a lot of tea )... about 5pm. So though it may not be a meal per se, it is regarded as a meal time.

I suppose, I can let that pass   Not "settee" though haha

Yay... I was expecting a bigger fight than that As to settee, I'll accept your Royal difference of opinion on that (Regina )... I am indeed a commoner; I say grass instead of grarse, and bath instead of barth... in fact the only 'ar' sound I use is in the word arse But that's kind of become its own word... though I do wonder if it started out as 'ass' and morphed into 'arse' because of how it was pronounced in some quarters (by posh people such as yourself, Your Highness ).
