Is that how we spell "waffly"?


It looks a bit weird, but then how often do we see it in print?

Well I use it fairly often and I always print out hard copies of the arguments I win on this forum. So I suppose I see it in print quite frequently. I could mail you photocopies of my successful arguments with people if you want?


That's OK, I'm not desperate to see it in print. 🙂 We say "rabbit on" to indicate prolixity - is that just Aussie colloquial or does everyone use it?

Nobody I know says "rabbit on" -- or "prolixity" for that matter.

Nobody I know says "Вы не можете экстраполировать ничего от него" either. But I'm not sure we can extrapolate anything from it.

Only that you can use cyrillic characters in a forum post. 😛

It seems "rabbit on" is local English slang - from "rabbit and pork" = talk.

Although they may be a little bit less numerous than that now.
