							| Thank you so much Spinney ! Puck the pottery Duck is enchanted to have won. Can you hear how happy he is ?   So the word for your brainstorming dear friends is BERGSCHRUND.   Remember only invented daffynition. Funny, crazy, tender, falsely scientific, singing... but NOT real !   I am looking forward to reading your foolish ideas, your stupendous imagination, your...   Cheers to all and thanks again to Spinney.   Maryse.  |  24 Feb 2019

							| BERGSCHRUND means a wish for health said after a sneeze when drinking beer.  The intoxicated person tries to say �Gesundheit� but since he is drunk, it sounds like �Gschrund�. The last syllable is swallowed (and usually followed by another swallow of beer).   A: Achoo B: Gschrund... C: That guy is so drunk he Berschurnded. D. Ya, I prefer Winegchrunding or Chanpagngschrunding. |  24 Feb 2019

							| Oh, come on now! Everybody in Lancashire knows this one. It�s the flavour and smell of a loud belch after eating black pudding. One would say "Sorry for the burp and the bergschund, everybody." Not the sort of thing done in polite society, of course. |  24 Feb 2019

							| It�s a �luvvie� term. It�s when one actor makes a clean sweep of all the awards. A bit like Olivia Coleman recently. She has won everything! Poor Glenn Close has never had one single Oscar, never mind a bergschrund.   |  26 Feb 2019

							|  >>Aisha-    if you bred two different breeds of dog ( a berger and a dachshund) what would you callthe breed of the offspring?   BERGer + dachSCHUND = BERGSCHRUND (an R is added for good measure)   I just thought it was funny trying to imagine those two breeds trying to have puppies together and what the puppies would look like. |  28 Feb 2019
