Hi Alexander -- on Sep 18 2018 at 21:35, you wrote: AK> That sentence was approximately like this: AK> "A woman tried to calm down a girl, and she plonked a cakey kiss on AK> her forehead." AK> Can it be said in some more usual words? ;-) What is "plonking a AK> cakey kiss"? Very British slang. Plonked would suggest "heavily or carelessly" (Oxford Dictionary) and cakey is slang for over-sweet in demeanor. So in more conventional English we might say "she sloppily kissed her forehead". But I think the slang version gives more flavour of British working class. Cheers... Dallas --- timEd/NT 1.30+ * Origin: The BandMaster, Vancouver, CANADA (1:153/7715) |
