Inadvertently, without a trace of irony and not noticing the gaffe until it was pointed out to me, guess what I did?
I popped!
Yes, the self-styled champion of abused words has joined the abusers.
It happened like this (and I am paraphrasing, my friends of Nidderdale Writers' Group).
Stephen Bookfair:
“A lot of people don’t realise just how good the sunrise can be when viewed from Scarborough seafront.”
Morris Smartarse:
“If you pop down to Hunstanton the same day, you can watch the sun set over the sea without leaving the east coast.”
Lesley Sharpears:
“Paul, you popped!”
Ouch!
Sorry. No more on this subject from me.
