   I’ve never heard “biff” for restroom, but “biffy,” yes.

   Fascinating, isn’t it, how words can carry their own meaning so clearly in context?

   OTOH, I once had a British boss who told me he was really “chuffed” about something. Onomatopoeia didn’t register for me: was “chuffed” something really really good or something really really bad?

   So I asked him, and he looked at me like I was from Mars: “Chuffed! You know, just … chuffed!”

   Any Brits out there to translate?

   Not necessary to presume placebo effect in this case. Any of the theobromines seem to have the same effect.

   Note that the headaches can come from trying to get OFF caffeine as well. Of COURSE caffeine will help! ;-}

   Well, you’re absolutely right, in absolute terms. But they’re raping their own environment and destroying everything around them for a purpose: to sell stuff to us as we don’t manufacture anything any more.

   Shame on us on any number of levels.

   BTW, since people seem to get offended here, yes I am aware there are many other aspects to this problem; I’m not denying that. But this is a comment on a comics BB, for gosh sakes.

    But a purely defensive posture will still lead you to lose!
