is 'spike it' a yankee term for a part of football, as a sport...???? or do you mean he is going to pull out a large spike, likely metal, and stab the ball with the spike...??? i prefer the latter, if claudio performed such lunacy i would become his biggest fan...when people played us they would never know if they were next to 'get spiked'...
typical...i try fondly, earnestly to bridge the divide between us, and all that i receive in response is...far from ideal. Cheers for clearing that up, ALC...I honestly had zero idea what was meant by 'to spike', and like to learn words from other languages. One of the joyful things of been in Melbourne, so many different cultures repesented...a luscious lady in marketing teaches me mandarin, a minx in IT is giving me delightful lebanese compliments to pay her, my turkish is covered by the receptionist, egyptian by the cleaner...and the odd singalese insult by my partner in slime in the courier HQ....
Why does the Egyptian have to be the cleaner?
