Lay and lie….

Baggs

I don't lay myself down; I lie down. Myself can be stuck in if anyone wants.

No it can’t Baggs
To lie is an intransitive verb whereas to lay is transitive ie needing an object, hence I lay myself down to sleep.
You can lay a carpet you can’t lie it.

Hope they didn’t mean lay out - a once in a lifetime event!

Was it one of those long floaty white Victorian-type ones?

I don't lay myself down; I lie down. Myself can be stuck in if anyone wants.

American usage from 18th Century (so presumably British usage before that?):

Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my Soul to keep[;]
If I should die before I 'wake,
I pray the Lord my Soul to take.

Wondering if they got mixed up with love-in! 😉

Or do they expect you to join in??

Accompanied by a picture of a chicken I hope?
