Only someone completely bereft of soul would say such a thing! I'm ten million percent sure you've seen Lambchop wannabes all over the place! However, the names of these Lambchop-wannabes generally begin with the letter in the alphabet that sheepishly follows L, and these Lambchop-wannabes often claim that they are not milky white!

And what's with this 'Walfie', if I may ask? Usually this term is only used in an endearing way to express admiration for a teacher or master. Even though I respect you for using it, I think it should be set aside for more ardent and passionate admirers.
Baaaa!! |
Well, I noticed someone else calling you that, so I just assumed it was a normal and expected usage, Wlaf! Why do you feel uncomfortable with the concept of being passionately and ardently admired?
Baaaa!! right back atcha!

It's the same in southern BrE; though I believe it can also indicate a background in the performing arts, esp. in the north west (cf. "Johnny", "Mikey", "Harvey", etc.).
Thank you for that, Amy! So many droll memories; not to mention startling coincidences:

Why would Milky know that? When you figure the difference between Milky and M56, let us know.
Still can't figure out how your furtive and frantic back-searching fits with your "it doesn't matter, it only pixels/the Internet/a forum" attitude. Something about me and my kin seems to be VERY important to you. What is it exactly? |
