the british don't call creme filled donuts "bismarks"-- the amerians do, and we do use 'creamed' as expression of complete and total victory

We can both be right on this one, can't we, Helen? It's a donut that's bloody hard to sink, but gets "creamed" by the Allies

Thanks for the song link. It was tremendously significant to the Allies - but I recall it was also a stroke of luck coupled with a very bad strategic move by the Bismarck's captain, is that right?

i think its from squishing bugs... but i have no reason for that opinion!
Yeah, no-one's risen to the "cockney rhyming slang" bait yet, either. May have to start a new thread!
