Orpington Full Range - Page 5

post #41 of 45

What a curious thread this is!  Not sure if it is linguistics or what that perplexes me. The English Orps are lovely.....I also like the looks of American Orps and don't find them lanky or scrawny at all.
We have the Imported English Orp thread....not sure what this threads main theme is??? Anyone?

I am deducing that "cheers" in England is somewhat like "chat later" here in the U.S.   I have always associated "cheers" with toasts prior to drinking alcoholic beverages.big_smile

I see Scotland and England on here....waiting to see if any Irish Orpington owners pop in.

I had my husband and 14 year old son translate "cheers" for me. They say that cheers = thanks. big_smile

Thanks Mucky!  I guess this is a fairly new thread...just wondered how it is different than the Imported Orpington thread.

Oh...see by one of your postings this is an OLD thread.  Maybe prior to Imported Orpington thread.

Your very welcome! I've lived here for eons (well, not quite) and I still have to have some things translated for me.

The date on the first post seems to be from 01/12/2011. lol
