Question of the Week suggestionsEach week we ask a question. The idea is to generate material that's:
* interesting to read, i.e. we won't get bored of reading the answers after about 10 of them
* not been asked on this site before
* fun to answer
What would you like to ask? (We've left this question open - so feel free to drop in ideas anytime.)

Weird Words.Stuff your family uses that would leave most of us scratching our heads. The words, their meanings and how they came into use.
For example - craughing (pronounced "crarffing") - laughing and crying at the same time, often done by a child whilst trying to force a cry and getting tickled at the same time.
Tning -A train, from the sound a train makes at level crossings.
Ranain - Rain.
Wind-ing - Windy.
Nome? - No one home, usually inquired after a spouse has tried to unsuccessfully ring someone.
You get the gist.
