I lost the weight on the Glee once and replaced it with the set from a Vee. I don't understand the shortened screw set either. I thought pissed meant drunk in English as opposed to angry in American. Thanks for the definition.
Pat- 2007 DL650A was ridden to all 48 contiguous states. 2012 DL650A outlasted me.
Nicknames I use to lessen typing, Vee = 2002-2012 (K2-L2) DL1000s. Veek=2014+ (L4+) DL1000s. Wee = 2004-2011 (K4-L1) DL650s. Glee = 2012+ (L2+) DL650s

How anyone learns English is beyond me Pat, we have multiple meanings for the same word;

Pissed is drunk
Pissed is crooked/wonky

Then the Northerners just make up words that, like most of the things they eat, make absolutely no sense to anyone  :smirk:

The first time I saw Traveling Strom say he was crook from some bad chook on a trip, I considered taking a holiday without my laptop.

Australians mean sick when they say crook and chook means chicken.

Knowing the English don't even speak English makes me want to take at least a day off.

It's getting worse, the younger English and British people are now trying really hard to disprove the absolute fact that there is no such thing as the language invented by Microsoft, English (US).  :dl_smiley_banghead:

A friend recently wrote on facebook .....  during a race he had fallen over whilst running in a forest due to being distracted by a heard of dears. I asked him all old ladies went round in gangs?
