I thought spoggy was a well known one ! we used it at school during the 80's, "Oyy giz a spoggy !"

I thought it was spuggy not spoggy. Also known as chuddy in some circles.

Probably was spuggy but changed it when it got to our school !

Played online poker and a few times, when people are typing in that they are laughing rather than type "hahahahaha" they type "jajajajajaja" what the buggery is that all about??

Yes, although you can also read

jejejeje -- specific tongue in cheek laugh
jojojojo -- Malevolous laughter, for instance if you see your boss stumbling
jijijijiji -- the kind of laughter a girl does when she see Torres

jajajajaj -- Standard laughter, also "I'm winning to Karhaz in poker" laughter

Nah, as soon as you started using it again a few years ago Daws the Oxford Dictionary struck it from their list.

Maybe the terminology of Spaniards like me or Rafa might constantly create funny lost in translation situations, but I've found an english ode about the complexity of your language, that may make you lot more lenient with us foreigners

Ode to English Plurals

We'll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes,
But the plural of ox becomes oxen, not oxes.
One fowl is a goose, but two are called geese,
Yet the plural of moose should never be meese.
You may find a lone mouse or a nest full of mice,
Yet the plural of house is houses, not hice.

If the plural of man is always called men,
Why shouldn't the plural of pan be called pen?
If I speak of my foot and show you my feet,
And I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet?
If one is a tooth and a Whole set are teeth,
Why shouldn't the plural of booth be called beeth?

Then one may be that, and three would be those,
Yet hat in the plural would never be hose,
And the plural of cat is cats, not cose.
We speak of a brother and also of brethren,
But though we say mother, we never say methren.
Then the masculine pronouns are he, his and him,
But imagine the feminine: she, shis and shim!

Let's face it - English is a crazy language.
There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger;
neither apple nor pine in pineapple.
English muffins weren't invented in England.
We take English for granted, but if we explore its paradoxes,
we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square,
and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

And Why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing,
grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham?
Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend.
If you have a bunch of odds and ends and
get rid of all but one of them, What do you call it?

If teachers taught, Why didn't preachers praught?
If a vegetarian eats vegetables, What does a humanitarian eat?
Sometimes I think all the folks Who grew up speaking English
should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane.

In What other language do people recite at a play and play at a recital?
We ship by truck but send cargo by ship.
We have noses that run and feet that smell.
We park in a driveway and drive in a parkway.
And how can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same,
While a wise man and a wise guy are opposites?

You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language
in Which your house can burn up as it burns down,
in Which you fill in a form by filling it out, and
in Which an alarm goes off by going on.

And in closing, if Father is Pop, how come Mother's not Mop?

It's a complex language really!

[woof woof !]

  Superb, it also explains why so many of us have difficulty learning another language, we've got our hands full dealing with our own.   

[Number 9]

Hilarious that!

Where did you find it Sabre?

and there's always though, tough, through and trough to get your head around.
