Beatles For Sale is a shade of Underrated Green.

Speaking of words, I've a slang query for those in Mighty Britannia: What is "cor" short for? I've always wondered this. Well, not always, but for a good portion of geological history.

i think it's a minced oath

I like BOTH Rubber soul and Beatles for sale!!!
Musesusan,

Interesting that size affects the colour of a shape!
You are the second person I know who thinks triangles are yellow. Most so far think green (I don't tell them I think of green until after), I feel squares are pale pink.
I don't know why I enjoy hearing about these things, but I do!

Why are Triangles green: Quality Street.

Green triangles of chocolate with some other stuff in. But they were definitely triangles. And Green.

Or where they only like that as an effect not a cause?

Interesting, isn't it?

Colours and shapes.

There has been music written supposedly to suggest colour - I have a tape somewhere recorded 35 yeras ago of it being discussed, and there is much music written to support adverts etc in which one colour dominates.

But it is also in popular (and other) music.

'I see skies of blue, red roses too,' etc

Most of us see skies of grey/red/brown smog/dust/747s/other stuff and roses of all shades including aphid, white fly, ant, spider web, but these don't come to mind as quickly.


But what tune suggests a deepfried mars baqr?

"Cor." (capital 'c') is short for Corinthians - but I don't think that's the one you were referring to.

"cor!" (small 'c') isn't actually short for anything as far as I know, but merely an exclamation. I'm not absolutely sure, but I seem to remember reading or hearing somewhere that "cor!" only came into use as recently as the 1930s as an alternative to saying "God!", which was presumably still frowned upon at the time as verging on being a blasphemous swear word.

There's always the 'cor anglais' which is what the french say when British tourists come to their land.

My understanding is that cor'is a variant of gor'. Which is itself a shortened version of "gor blimey". Gor Blimey is a sanitised version of "God Almighty". Hopefully that clears that one up a little.

It does. Thanks. It seems to be a popular exclamation, or did at one time, so I was just curious. Thank you hungry rabbit and his cook.

I go along with CannibalRabbit on the "cor" thing and everyone who like "Rubber Soul".

Perhaps not so keen on "Beatles for Sale" but love "Let it Be" and Leo Sayer's (!!!) version of "The Long and Winding Road" off "All this and World War Two" is incredible.

Rubber Soul is usually my favorite but sometimes I need Help.

My mom's vinyl copy of RS is the UK version (different playlist than what was put out in the US). My sister and I will probably be battling to the death for it someday!

I'd say one of Tom Waits songs can sound deep fried mars bar-ish,.
I always liked lucy in the sky because of the way they sang tangerine trees and a marmalade sky!

Re: Long and winding road.


I have a copy of a cartoon somewhere which has the image of a toad (not necessarily of the cane variety) with an extended tongue.

the caption is: 'the long unwinding toad'


<It helps keep me sane>

lol, Does it work, do you think?

Circles are a luminous burnt orange, hexagons are neon violet, and squares are a sort of pale but bright magenta. Words (which I can never quite make out, and dont think they are in english) are electric blue, and I can't see any triangles, so can't tell you if they are green. Does anyone else get swirling masses of shape and movement when they close their eyes, or focus on the air in front of their eyes? Or am I a freak?

(Cue reassurance)

I have seen odd things with my eyes closed, I get sort of small fireworky thingeys. It is a bit like a private kandinsky picture. I feel emotions as sort of tastes sometimes. Like getting a certain feeling from certain tastes/foods only without the food. It isn't consistent though. I often think it is mostly because I have a vivid imagination.

I dreamed about being attacked by a murderous lemon last week, I had to kill the lemon with a rolling pin and an axe. It was incredibly scary this lemon!

Sounds like one tough lemon. Was it as scary as a Killer Tomato?

<cues awful music>

The lemon just kept bouncing back, it didn't die quickly!

A lot of juice in it then?

It had a zest for life?
