Word of the Day -
 

Dear All,

 

Thank you very much for all your entries for Word of the Day.  I laughed out loud at some of them.

We had food, tea, questions and answers, pop songs, fairy stories, films, cartoons, poems, alliteration, wellies, romance, and sex.  It was just like a Staff Room on a rainy afternoon.

 

Someone said that it was her first time of entering the Competition.  Well, it must be �Beginners� Luck�, because, CONGRATULATIONS, you are the WINNER

�A Lollipop Lady is a sour food with a shape of a fat woman, that is given to children when they don �t do their homework!�

But, in reality, what is a �Lollipop Lady�?

It is a much-used expression in the UK, (and in Australia), for the Lady who helps school-children to cross safely over the road to school.

Why �Lollipop�?

Because she carries a long pole, on the top of which is a big, circular, yellow and red sign with the words �STOP! Children!"

It looks like a big Lollipop. 

Here is more information for you.
