Ok so it’s no longer Monday so can I ask what has ‘Can’ got to do with a bum ? And what have ‘pyjamas’ got to do with a cat
Two of yesterday’s words that I don’t get ?

The cat's pyjamas is a expression that I had heard.

Like you, never heard 'can' used to mean 'bum'.

Well, I've heard of the cat's whiskers but never knew they wore pyjamas.

BlueBelle Tue 12-Mar-24 16:35:17

2, possibly 3 of the blue make sense, but the last one???

Merriam-webster is a great resource to check Americanisms - "cat's pajamas"
www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/cats%20pajamas

Don't worry about waiting to post word queries on my account, I don't think I'll be around much.

I got blues for the wrong reason and would never have got purple if they hadn't been the only ones left.

BlueBelle Wed 13-Mar-24 07:19:23

After midnight can someone knowledgable tell me what blue number 1 and purple number 1 have to do with their titles

Mollygo Wed 13-Mar-24 08:21:23

I’d heard of a Boston terrier, so that was OK for me, but I only knew If.

Rubbish!

Well, I got green by chance but don't agree with the reason 😃

Blue row is incomprehensible apart from one.

Purple number 1 - obviously we don't have one!!

Ar the time, I was thinking of the song 'If' by Bread, not the Rudyard Kipling poem! There was no way I would have got that row if they hadn't been the only words left.

The blues are a complete mystery to me and the greens were more or less a guess. The yellows I got right but not for the reason given, but hey, I actually got the purples right for the right reason!

BlueBelle Thu 14-Mar-24 06:17:50

Not worth putting mine up didn’t get any

That is not how I pronounce Number 1 blue.
Never heard of green
And as for purple 🤷‍♀️

Callistemon21 Thu 14-Mar-24 11:04:52

The yellows I got right but not for the reason given
Yes, I got the yellows for a different reason.

Unbelievably I chose purples for the wrong reason, but it worked.
