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.)

My Mum and her glory holeMy mum had started to call the big walk in cupboard in her kitchen “the glory hole”. This led to her “popping it in the glory hole”. After I spat my tea across the kitchen counter I had to explain what a glory hole was. She isn’t talking to me any more.
Just one example of innocent Old folk using perfectly acceptable phrases which have been polluted by the modern day filth of the young.
I’m sure you’ve got lots more.
Ps. My Grandpa really did have actual Jazz mags under his bed.

Heh hehReminds me of one occasion back in...let's see, must have been about 1982. My Mum asked me and my brother why on earth Americans used the word 'mother' as an insult.
"No idea." said my brother.
"No, me neither," I said.

my mum once asked me what 'giving head' meantand I have a friend who has a 'glory hole' in her cottage. I think she actually does understand the other meaning, though...
