mmm, in Kent we used "a pinch and a punch - first day of the month!" to which the traditional witty repartee was "a punch and a kick, for being so quick!"
My lucky dip seemed unremarkable: 'evening'
yeahbut!®
evening
(say 'eevning)
noun the period of the day after midday. [Middle English; Old English aefnung, from aefnian draw towards evening]
~ are they saying the term evening is applied to the period normally referred to as afternoon - truly?
I blame it on their sad downupside lifestyle - that and too much sun ;)
