Sorry, that reads as if it was one of my posts! Which it wasn't. Oops hmm

One of my most memorable FB posts was someone saying that a sad little video was 'heart rendering'. I could only imagine she'd been drinking and was plastered tchgrin

In context it seems to mean rectified!

My late DM used to be furious about "slippy', shysal, and also "wrap up warm' instead of 'warmly', and she passed them both on to me. It's a bad time of year for both, unfortunately. tchhmm

Redefined with the n omitted, accidentally or otherwise?

Haven't got a clue, but, could it mean that you have 'made yourself ready??'

What are they meant to mean? I assume litchelly is literally but haven't a clue about redified! tchconfused

My grumble in this cold weather is hearing 'slippy' all the time instead of slippery.

These have appeared on my FB page today. - ”redified” and “litchelly”. Took me a minute.
