[слово дня и забавный фрагмент интервью]
churlish - неблагодарный (британский аналог более известного ungrateful),
a loo roll - рулон туалетной бумаги

JKR: It would be churlish to say there's nothing good about being famous; to have a total stranger walk up to you as you're walking around Safeways, and say a number of nice things that they might say about your work ... I mean of course you walk on with a bit more spring in your step. That's a very, very nice thing to happen. I just wish they wouldn't approach me when I'm buying you know...
I: Loo roll?
JKR: Items of a questionable nature, exactly. Always, always. Never when you're in the fresh fruit and veg section. Never.
