Snippets for May 2021
Many thanks for these snippets ( bits and pieces) . We would describe them as very droll ( funny ). Now where did that word come from I wonder ? The expression " a tad " is mainly used by a very refined person, a high class person. In fact, your entry reminded me of when I bumped into a person on the train who is a well known personality in the U.K. He described my coat as a tad too warm for the weather we were having. He was a famous boxer, world champion, whose son now boxes. His name is Chris Eubank and his trademark was to act in a very smart manner, very smart suits, bowler hat, monocle , pocket watch etc.
The correct expression is to be " a laughing stock " as in " I was a laughing stock when I turned up at a party in fancy dress and nobody else did. "

Wikidiff a écrit: As adjectives the difference between credible and incredible is that credible is believable or plausible while incredible is too implausible to be credible; beyond belief; unbelievable.

Pest control is usually against animals such as rats and mice.
By the way, the book most sold in England in 2020 was the Plague by Albert Camus - La Peste ! johnB.
