WHAT'S A XENOPHONE?
You might have thought that the one word the Daily Mail would be able to spell correctly would be "xenophobe".
Sadly not.
I wonder if Carphone Warehouse is having busy morning explaining to hopeful buyers that the Mail just got it wrong again.
Literally a strange or foreign noise (the greeks have no actual word for foreign and use "stranger" instead).
ReplyDeleteA great example is the guff being produced by Lord Lawson from his villa in France.
Both strange and foreign.
Best ignored.
LOL; very good Anon...
DeleteXenophone is a racist foreign xylophone?
ReplyDeleteI knew I could count on you for a sensible answer Panda. :)
DeleteBugger, I was going to write that but could not spell it! How kind of UKIP to call him "has-been" as if he really has......
ReplyDeleteHmmm... you should have written it in Gaelic and then we wouldn't have noticed the spelling mistakes.
DeleteI didn't think Lawson ever has been... Mind he seemed to annoy the hell out of the Thatcher thing, so he's not all bad.
I think a xenophone might be a foreign language, the sort of terrifying thing you might hear if you were on a train with Nigel Farage.
ReplyDeleteOh no... if you heard that you would feel threatened.
DeleteUnd das wäre absolut schrecklich sein, n'est pas?
Mind I'd fee threatened if I were in any confined space with Nigel Farage breathing beery cigarette fumes all over me!
UKippers are more like xenomorphs, very Alien indeed.
ReplyDeleteThat is an unforgivable insult......... to xenomorphs. Very inclusive species, they want to *ahem* join any and all races.....

They are infinitely better looking than old Farage...

DeleteThat is a Shape Shifter, like Jeremy Corbyn these days.
Disappointing so far. Not his fault I reckon. Left with no options as his hard right seem to be prepared to undermine him at every turn.
DeleteI suspect they will pay for it. It was voters that elected Corbyn. Had I been one of them I'd be frothing by now at the likes of Cooper, Burnham, Benn, Eagle and their mates.
I'm not certain of the answer Tris ... can I phone a friend?
ReplyDeleteI did briefly think it was a hatred of all foreign manufactured phones though.
Yes, Arbroath. You can phone a friend.
DeleteI was gonna do that by Munguin pointed out I don't have any and if I wanted to use the phone it was £1!!
Good idea though...I wonder if that's why Brown used to throw Nokias?
He was a Finnishphonephobe?
DeleteLOL... I guess.
DeleteThere we've found something he was good at.... being alliterative.
I'm a xenophone.
ReplyDeleteI get those frigging annoying calls from overseas who are calling for "market research" purposes.
Pass me coat......
zog
(this could go on all night!)
Nol no no... Here's yer coat|!!!!!
DeleteBut before you go, I ringing to let you know that you could be in line for a pay off if you ever had PIP.
All you need to do is send me all your banking details and I'll make sure a large amount of money is deposited in a bank account... (not necessarily yours)
Thank you for your time... and co operation.
