Ever thought that you could get flushed down the loo? That girls wee out their bottoms? Or that bumming means two men rubbing their bums together? Tell us about your childhood misconceptions. Thanks to Joefish for the suggestion.

So, "bricks" it is, then.
Then again, "pieces" is probably more accurate.

Have to agree with slva, though: Lego really do produce a superior product to those of their competitors.

Having spent Boxing Day playing with the stuff, I can only concur.
Although I did learn that my knees are no longer able to withstand two solid hours of kneeling on the carpet the way they used to be.

/something about my sex life.

All my joints failed at the weekend,
whilst sprawled out on my sons' floor, as he barked his lego-building instructions at me.

On the plus side, we built a veritable army of small ducks, some of whom were smoking pipes.

Nah.
There's no reason why you can't use an adjective in place of a noun when the noun is strongly implied. For example:
"Wendy cooked a delicious roast"
"It's easy to blame the poor"
"I'm playing with my Lego"

See?

Edit: Lego is awesome.

Fuck - I just disproved my own point
Because: "Wendy cooked six delicious roast dinners" would become "Wendy cooked six delicious roasts".

Although... "It's easy to blame a poor person" vs. "It's easy to blame poor people"... Help me internet, I confus'ed myself.

Maybe it's just an arbitrary point that only idiots care about.
Maybe.

I get more worked up by Paul Hollywood,
describing someone's biscuit as "a good bake." partly because I'm not convinced that "a good bake" is particularly meaningful, and partly because I think that Paul Hollywood is a bit of a wally.

"Wally"...

Not used enough these days. A great adjective.
