please allow me to add this one: "lovely"
agrrrrr.... all is lovely in the northern side of the planet??? "here is your change lady...oh! thats lovely!!!!"....is a "lovelly day"......this is my dog , oh is a "lovelly doggy", and then "this is my daughter" : oh she is "lovely"..........."lovely" well it make me think "anything " for this people is "lovely" so whats the difference really!!!! so when I hear someone telling me "oh you are lovely girl" I think to my self: like the raining day, like your pet or like the chash change" (lol but is irritating to me!!!)
