Learn Something New

I've decided I should stop being so grumpy and start trying to learn one new thing everyday. So for today I learned that a "butty" is a sandwich. I kind of suspected that's what it was. Onslow on Keeping Up Appearances is always asking for a bacon butty, but then I read a book where a character when off for a chip butty. I admit I had to wonder why anyone would want a chip (I know - chips = large bits of fried potato or french fries, not chips = crisps or potato chips) sandwich. Gross. Apparently it's widely eaten in the UK with tomato sauce. Must be an aquired taste. Lots of interesting definitions at The Best of British - The American's Guide to Speaking British. Most of these I already knew, what with all those British ancestors, but there were a few new ones.
