"Squeeze". As in: "Have you met my latest squeeze?"

At the time, whilst a serving officer in the Army I felt that was a rather gratuitous and ill-conceived headline. Having lost several colleagues in the conflict, and a roommate who was badly burned at Bluff Cove, I still find it offensive.

If only we hadn't tried to recapture the Malvinas for the glory of Argentina.

;-) just kidding.

I was just out of Sandhurst at the time. Not joking about Bluff Cove though.

Cheerio. Sad that it's gone out of fashion. The only person I know who says it is, er, me. Shameful

You are not alone citizen. I often say it, and I don't care. Cheerio! There, said it again.

And I'm not sure the family will tolerate another bastard.

Mither - 3 or so posts above. My northern friends use that one and I have no idea what they're on about.

And my Great Aunt used to refer to 'fussies' as - well, I don't know what she was on about either.
