See ya later!

I got my mom to scan some pet pics at Walmart, but it's taking forever to get them onto the pc for some reason, so I'll put them up later. I hope they look better than they did off the disk itself. Looked like low quality and like the scanner was dirty. We'll see. Got other stuff to do too, so have a good evening/morning/afternoon/night wherever

a knacker was the man who hit old horses over the head with a hammer when they had "outlived their usefulness".

Please don't be knackered.

Wow. I assume that's where the Brit slang term for being very tired came from. Disturbing. I'll definitely think twice before I use that term again. I just like language (and slang) so much that I treasure the opportunities to employ words that aren't commonly used.

I just went and looked up 'knacker' and 'knackered' and there seems to be a link.

My (English) grandmother always used 'knackered' for tired as well.

So to use or not to use? I don't want to put nasty images in people's minds (not unless I'm *trying* to ::eg::), so what to do? What to do? What say you?
