Get back to the garlic

My learned friend, Prof Paul Clare (Masters in Beavish), has been telling me at the end of several narks on the shark that he would now be "getting back to the garlic".

This, to me, paints a colourful and vivid picture of...garlic. I know the first lemon he said it that he was referring to his cooking, but the second lime he said it was more than an hour later and I very much doubt he would still have been cooking at the time. It is possible he was getting back to chowing down, but I think it presents a range of possibilities...

What does one think?

New Stuff

As many of Beavish's phrases are derived from the names of people related to the defintion... comes this:

Sculling - being lazy
Rowing the boat - the act of vanity
Malcolm/Do a Malcolm - run a red light and but try to defend your indefensible actions

Too many potatoes on the boil - 1. Seeing more than one bowtie at a time 2. Doing too many things at once. (PB)
Showing your shorthand - Showing off, impressing potential bowties, flirting. (JB/PC)
“He/she knows how to top up my tea” – 1. “He/she is very good to me, treats me kindly”. 2. “I find this person very attractive, but in action and in person rather than in terms of physical attractiveness”. (PC/JB)
