Word of the Day (again) is ‘quiddling’ (18th century): busying oneself with trivial tasks as a way of avoiding the important ones.

A(nother) quick reminder of the ‘snaccident’: the inadvertent eating of an entire packet of biscuits/crisps/etc. when you meant to have just the one.

(Apparently you can have a ‘gincident’ too.)

Y’all…I had the wrong bat. This is what happens when you tweet while drunk.

A quick reminder of the wonderful ‘flenched’ from Scots, used to describe weather (or life) that looks likely to improve, but never actually does.
