    don't ask me the meaning.. Nowadays i am using 'holy fish' very extensively...

    'Fish'- I got from OSO... Then I just added a 'holy' :)

    Btw, this is too short a blog for the weekend.. waiting for a long one..

    A friend used to end each sentence with " Ablo " which I later found to be " I believe "

    I remember the first time I heard the phrase. It was pretty confusing...

    "Sorry, my bad"
    "Huh?"
    "My bad"
    "You're bad? as in you are bad?"
    "No. My bad... my mistake... You've never heard the phrase before??"
    "No. It doesn't make sense."
    "What's to make sense? Mistakes are bad... My bad. My mistake. Simple."
    "But... but... it's not logical. My bad. The bad is mine??"
    "Uh uh..."
    "My bad - It doesn't make sense. It's BAD English!!"
    "Oh? It's bad English, eh? Hmm... Ok. Sorry. My bad."

    Of course, since then, I've heard and used the phrase so many times that it's part of acceptable lingo. Still better than ending a sentence with 'na'.... as in 'The boss is coming, na?', and I use that too...

    After a long time... I missed a lot of action both here and at TP ;-)
    Nice one as usual and that last "thwack" was a really good one...
