Something stupid about my mum is that for her entire life she has deluded herself into believing that the phrase 'bung' is a term meaning to hit something and possibly uses it more frequently than anything else. In actual fact, bung is ;
bung |bÉ™ ng |
noun
a stopper for closing a hole in a container.
verb [ trans. ]
close with a stopper : the casks are bunged before delivery.
• ( bung something up) block (something), typically by overfilling it : you let vegetable peelings bung up the sink.
ORIGIN late Middle English : from Middle Dutch bonghe (noun).
which, to be honest, doesn't seem like something you can whip out five times a day.
I think I would like trying out being really really really small one day, like in Honey I Shrunk The Kids! (which is a classic film, by the way,) just to sort of wander about and that. Because I mean, bugs always look pretty content, dont they? They're shit small but they always seem to be enjoying themselves. And you'd notice things, wouldn't you? Textures of stuff and the like. I just think...theres something to it.
I got home and 'Friday on my Mind' was playing and Dad was singing along and I was happy and really, really enjoy trashy 60's music.
