Just listening to the radio and someone said that they had taken umbrage at a remark. I usually take my umbrage with something.

How do you take yours?thlconfused

Yes, a good gallop is what's needed.smile

While on your high horse, like an Olympic dressage rider.[roastchicken}.

An entirely irrelevant emoji but I have only just seen it and it amused me.

I take mine very rarely and usually with a pinch of salt. smile

I take umbrage at things and with a tart rejoinder, never with a pinch of salt.

I find that tart rejoinders need some clotted cream with them, whilst imbrage can be taken plain.?

Umbrage!

rosesarered Sat 22-Jul-17 14:29:37

Or is imbrage a word as well?
