How do you take your umbrage?

at, but it is not a word I tend to use

With at least two days worth of sulking!

I don't, life's too short

I take it with more water than I used to, and a pinch of salt.

My father in law was known as umbrage, can't think why!

I don't eat/drink mine. I spread it over myself, like a blanket, and if I'm really upset, I bundle it into a large carpet-bag, hoick it over my arm (as the Queen holds her handbag) and flounce off home, taking it with me

I took umbrage but I can't remember where I put it!

Umbrage should be walked daily.

As a typical redheaded Glaswegian, I used to have umbrage for breakfast, dinner and tea.

But these days, being white-haired and soooo chilled out, I check out where the potential for umbrage is coming from then smile and walk on.

Before enlightenment, fetch water, carry wood.
After enlightenment, fetch water, carry wood, only more mindfully.

Enjoy your umbrage. It means your still alive and kicking.

With radio 4 current affairs programmes. Very cathartic. I can really shout and swear.

Thank you for reminding me of this expression. It has made me chuckle as I sit at an airport waiting for a delayed plane. I learnt " to take umbrage" via French and Italian as a teenager and thought it related to umbrellas , rain and admirable British pragmatism ("always be prepared")!
Have my umbrage with me now en route back to UK.

Just added a new word to my vocabulary 'quafftide';meaning time for a (I think alcoholic) drink. But I won't take umbrage if someone disagrees!

I wash mine down with Prosecco!

What a fantastic thread! Thank you for brightening my day,*kitty*.
I take mine regularly, hot or cold depending on the weather - in fact, it's going for an outing this evening. A rather difficult committee meeting full of wilful and negative wimmin!

I have just sat having a good chuckle at this thread definately not taking "umbradge" teeheehee

Somebody told me that I was past that 'age'! I rather miss it as I liked it the drier the better or with ice and a slice.

Standing up

I've just thought after Brexit will we still be allowed to take umbrage? sounds a bit foreign to me. Please can someone assure me it is absolutely British and not under threat...

Ooooh! Monica...... you ARE awful

It's as British as it can possibly be ( but does look a bit French)

Well Brexit is causing 'BUM RAGE'.

Speak for yourself, POGS!

Ana.

I'm waiting Waiting for somebody to take umbrage.

I always feel at a disadvantage taking it sitting down.

I agree, ideally you should be on the moral high ground when you take it...
