Nice one Cyril.
(A point for knowling the origin of that reference!)
The phrase became a famous catch-phrase thanks to bread advertising
campaign on British TV. (Cyril being one of the bakers)
It was then adopted by Spurs fans as a homage to full-back Cyril Knowles.
(Hence my clue in mis-spelling "knowing" )

Originally posted by FMFCan you count it if your contribution's vocabulary has digit-words? I think using "22" is suspicious. It stands for a word that is against our constraint, right?

This is my first forum post, I think. Thanks for a fun way to jump in and form a contribution!
Originally posted by aukermdrThank you for your compliant contribution - though your slightly surly inquiry about my utilisation of "22" [two digits ~ that is "2" ~ doubly shown, thusly: 2 and 2 again, making "22"] will not curry my favour, you should know, that's all.

Originally posted by FMFOh, I am thankful for your clarification. "Two two" is a smart way to avoid foul play in this discussion. I was imagining you said "22" as a singular unit, not as two distinct digits.

To your point, though, I did not wish to spark a poor first opinion in your mind. "Slightly surly" was not my motivation. Is it too forward if I wish to start apologizing?

If your lip [that is your high lip, naturally, not your low lip] is stiff, you will pull through. Submit to taunts but do so with a pinch of salt. Pray to God. Drink fluids. Always don non-dirty y-fronts.

Its difficult to grasp at first.
But I got it!

Can anybody play in this sandpit?
