Andy’s wife is starting on a low for me.

[Brigadier]

So am I also allowed to use the rhyming slang 'spoon'?

I'd say "Knock yourself out!" but, if you dared to use that term, someone would likely do it for you.

Back on-topic, away from the usual interpersonal bitching on here, here's Andy's wife on Blind Date in 1992... while she was already dating Andy.

Either she was perfectly happy to two-time him, or she was lying that she was single to get on the programme so she'd get a holiday paid for. Either way, not a good look.

Yep, those left wingers do seem to be extremely violent these days, bearing in mind recent events.

As in ‘Silver spoon'? What about 'Joe Daki', 'Tiddlywink', 'Swartzer' or 'Bubble'?

'Spoons'. I wasn't referring to a very large and well known chain of pubs.

It's just (Cockney) rhyming slang, not offensive per se in any way.

Simple test - replace his use of it with the word "Jew(s)". If what he wrote wasn't antisemitic or offensive, then it doesn't become so just by changing "Jews(s)" to "four by two(s)". It can't.

Apart from ellal not being a Cockney, he called someone a 4X2 without even being aware of their ethnicity, not that that would make any difference if he did but carry on defending ellal if you must. If for example, you were black and I knew you well, would it be acceptable for me to come up to you and say "Hello my old gold digger, how are ya"?

What's the meaning of calling someone a 4X2? I know it's a common timber size, beyond that it has no meaning or racial implications to my mind.

Like you just did?

Like you just did?

I must have missed it. Who did he use it against and in what context?

Seems like @morqthana has gone shy all of a sudden. Probably had no answer. Best to pretend he didn’t see it. Yeah, that’s it…..
