Blue Cheese

What do you get when you cross a technophobe with a deaf twit? A blue cheese dongle. Lol. No seriously, I was talking to my Mom about a Blue tooth dongle that I need to make my phone talk to my laptop so I can synchronise my calendar and mail contacts etc, and after a momentary silence, she asked me what a blue cheese dongle was.

It, like so many other humorous made up words, has made its way into our everyday language, and always amuses me and my husband when we talk about these things using our “private” in-jokes, and people correct us thinking we are mistaken and wanting to teach us the correct words.
