    I have only heard the word on The Bugle, tbh. Adam said it was like Pool. Clearly he is misinformed.
  • sweetnesssweetness

    Like the fact that, in the song "The 12 Days of Christmas," Day Four's gift isn't "four calling birds" but "for colly birds." "Colly" was an older English word for "black," hence "four blackbirds."

    what is a "pot-holer"? what is a "curb crawler"? I assume curb crawling is something naughty but seeing as I heard it on a Britcom, the joke completely went over my head.
  • target35ghosttarget35ghost
    Curb-crawlers are creepy men who drive slowly down the road (near the curb, i.e. edge of the sidewalk/what we call pavement) searching for prostitutes. But curb-crawlers often aren't looking for prostitutes necessarily, they just see a girl walking down the road and slow down loads so they can jeer out the window at you. Eurgh. I hate it.

    A pot-holer is someone who explores caves, isn't it? I'm pretty sure that pot-holing is cave exploration....
