 Phrases You'd Not Heard Before - Bromptonaut
I've had the odd bit of stick on here for using supposedly erudite and obscure phrases. Examples include 'Stuck for Weft' and 'Pour Encourager les Autres'.

Discussion with two folks at work yesterday as to whereabouts of some missing documents. During conversation I referred to somebody's desk as being like the bottom of a parrots cage - a complete mess littered with papers, food wrappers and dead cups. Neither colleague had heard it before.

I thought it was commonplace?

What does the panel say and have you got similar examples?
