i was intrigued by AB eds thread about words,
some of the words, explanations, and the cartoons are really funny, some rude ones, but persevere.

Interesting, emmie. As you say it's mainly for North Americans. After being on this site for many years I think I'm familiar with most of them. However, the first time that I came across "bespoke" I was a little bewildered.
