I Just Can't Stand It

When I worked in a shop in Leicester, one of my co-workers understood the word "gullet" to be a verb. As in, "I'm going to gullet a fish."

Chris and I vigorously disagreed, at which point she got all huffy and drew on her Newcastle heritage. Which was inexcusable, as we couldn't prove that the word wasn't in everyday use in Newcastle in the middle of a busy Saturday in Leicester.

And no, I never did bother to look it up on the internet. People lie on there you know. All I know is Chris and I laughed so hard that day I'm surprised we didn't damage any major organs. Poor Teri. She was a real Mrs Malaprop sometimes, so how could we ever take her lessons in Geordie-fish-fillet-speak seriously?
