Eventually Provident Management Services Limited were persuaded that it would be a good idea to change their name. I remember them in the 80s. Used to come round our house every week collecting money and putting a little tick in the book. Always wondered what it was for. Then when I was 16, realised it was all mine. Mawahhahaha.

Nor-Cal Villan Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Via context I figured it the meaning of “clearing in the woods” pretty early on. No big deal, meaning seems fairly straight-forward. What I am curious about is how it came to be. What’s the etymology? 100% sincere question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s the etymology? 100% sincere question Quote First recorded in 1650–60; perhaps originally a dialectal variant of thwat, thwot (unattested), presumed Modern English outcome of Old English thwāt, (unattested), akin to Old Norse thveit “cut, slit, forest clearing” (from northern English dialect thwaite “forest clearing”).

Popular Post Mark Albrighton Posted August 4 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted August 4 With both the filters “word removed” and “clearing in the woods” I find in real life I’m on the verge of saying the filter rather than the swear word itself when in conversation with people. And then I have to stop myself because I can’t be bothered to explain why I’ve said the phrases. I do mutter them under my breath fairly frequently. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 (edited) I had my TV perched on a stool like table, for 6 months, but it never looked that secure. I decided to take a spare glass table, I had, and put the TV on that. It suddenly made my TV look much bigger and the volume louder. Now, it's no secret that I'm not the brightest bulb, but can anyone explain why to me. Edited August 6 by sheepyvillian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might explain the loudness. Is it closer to a wall behind for example? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
