ah, no. dodgy, as in sketchy... as in iffy or suspect, i suppose.
Exactly. I have a number of Britishisms that I absorbed during my time as an astronomer: signing off letters with "cheers", "dodgy", "pear-shaped", and my favorite, (soy) milk and sugar in my (decaf) tea.

didn't even realize dodgy's a britishism... but pear-shaped? do you mean it otherwise than talking about a woman who's wide around the hips?

TELL me about it! I know you're stressed. It'll be ok. You're vigillant about your health and you're staying on top of it. The headache WILL go away! Get lots of sleep and take a nap in a dark room if your head hurts too bad. I asked the doc for migraine meds when I got the headache, and he gave me a sample pack with 3 pills. One of them knocked me out completely and I felt much better when I woke up.

No, it means everything's gone wrong. "Everything's gone all pear shaped." It cracks me up every time I hear it from my Liverpool friends!

My boyfriends got a book on cockney rhyming slang and we spent an afternoon wetting ourselves laughing at some of them, the best bit was when we went out the other night and were talking in the cockney rhyming slang we'd learnt and killing ourselves laughing and noone could understand what the hell we were talking about!!
