Rofl.

The Bee's Knees means the same.

Toodle pip - This is an old expression meaning goodbye. However, I only hear it when Americans are doing impressions of Brits as it has fallen into disuse, along with steam trains and gas lights.

This is the worst phrase I ever heard.

Goodbye my love

Toodle pip my love.

sounds like you going to the Loo

I'll stand up for eejit on this one, lol. We're the ones who got the language from the Brits in the first place, remember? So we're the ones who decided it's not needed and unnatural and decided to change it.

As to why though, I'm not sure.

[KaciBlakely]

I know we decided it, Tay.

I was just wondering why.

Other than to use up more space in their works of writing.

Maybe it is feel space.

Maybe not.

But eejit is a brit and I think it'd be better for him to explain to us.

Rather than just google it myself.

I'm wondering if he give it to us better than some random newsrag.

That's what the Brits call Newspapers?

Right? lol

In the 1700's the new pioneers hated everything about Great Britain.
They indocrinated everybody to think and talk and write differently that the Brits. It is now like Apples and Oranges in every comparison you can think of. Mutt's nuts
