My trip to Canberra around Easter 2012 to attend the national meeting of MX-5 car clubs (Natmeet X) which is held every two years. This time was the tenth Natmeet - my third.

Glenpool received a new supercenter recently, and it is a new design I guess. I've never seen one quite like this before.

I know I'm cute, take my picture!

If you had to choose, would you rather be shirty or blousy? I’m not talking about your clothing preferences for your upper body.

 

Whichever way you go, it’s not looking good. To be shirty is to be bad-tempered or irritable and to be blousy is to be disheveled. Though, to be clear, the word blousy has nothing to do with the blouse (it’s from a dialectal word blowze, meaning wench).

 

The English language has many idioms involving clothing. To keep one’s shirt on is to refrain from losing one’s temper, while to lose one’s shirt is to lose everything. Language is not always logical.

 

How about pants? To wear the pants in a relationship is to be the dominant partner. To catch someone with their pants down is to catch them in an embarrassing or unprepared state.

 

This week we’ll see five terms related to pants and shirts. Whatever you choose to wear (or not wear), keep your mask on.

 

Today's word is fancy-pants, from fancy, a contraction of fantasy, from Old French fantasie, from Latin phantasia, from Greek phantasia (imagination, appearance), from phantazein (to make visible) + pants, short for pantaloons, plural of pantaloon. St. Pantaleone/Pantalone was a popular saint in Venice. As a result, it was also a common name among the Venetians. As a result, a comic character in the Italian commedia dell’arte was named Pantalone. The leggings this character wore became known as pantalone (plural pantaloni). And that became pantaloons in English. Earliest documented use: 1870. A related word is smarty-pants.

Now I can see who you really are!

This is the nickname for Yuengling’s Lord Chesterfield Ale (5.4% ABV), a full-bodied, hop-enhanced American pale ale. Named after Philip Stanhope, the 4th Earl of Chesterfield (1694-1773), Chetty has been part of the Yuengling line-up since 1934. Lord Chesterfield was a noted diplomat, orator and man of letters. He had no direct involvement in American colonial affairs but was an opponent of the Stamp Act of 1765, predicting that it would harm trade with the colonies. The origins of the American War of Independence can be traced to this measure.

 

As well as the Yuengling brew, the Chesterfield County of Virginia and South Carolina is each named after the Lord.

 

Yuengling Brewing of Pottsville PA is a large-scale operation and is not considered a craft brewer. But its beers are often my default choice when a local craft beer is unavailable on tap: Yuengling is also brewed in Tampa so is widely to be found.

I've been trying to get more playful with my spring flower photos. Thanks to RJoanne, who has been generously sharing her experiments with photoshop, I have been trying to loosen things up! Here's one result.

 

Our Daily Challenge: Fancy

Did a random shoot for stock the other day. I bought various high-end items from the liquor store and shot them on a tabletop.
