How do you take your umbrage?

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!

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.

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

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.

Umbrage should be walked daily.

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

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

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

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

I don't, life's too short

With at least two days worth of sulking!

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

Me and OH, I really do try and explain.

with a flounce !

LOL Jayanna

Umbrage? Isn't that where the Archers live?

I thought it was Yorkshire speak for Humber Bridge as in....
Turn right then go ovver T'Umbridge

I try to leave my umbrage behind when I log off from Gransnet

Like revenge, best tasted cold. I take mine on the rocks.

Take it sparingly. It is strong stuff, take it too hot and too often and you run the risk of a painful acid reflex response. Best left to get cold and tasteless and then thrown away.

I've always thought of it as a rather bossy, self-righteous type of taking offence - obviously I was wrong, but never mind!

As Kitty says, it's a fabulous word. With its derivation from shade, it's a sort of brooding, sulky resentment. Anger simmering inside.

Plenty of umbrage on GN kitty

Only joking, umbrage takers

I think it's a fabulous word!!

Well I'm glad we got all that sorted out, my umbrage has taken flight now. Strange how some words date the speaker, umbrage is not a word I hear young people use very often.
