I honestly didn’t get it – am I missing something obvious?

regarding that word…buster… i had to look it up and according to wiktionary.com it has three meanings… i hope you were thinking of the 1st one even though i’m not following you around :) – manwel will do during the next few weeks :P

1. A guy, friend : Oi, buster, stop following me around everywhere!
2. A loser, uncool person : Stop being a buster.
3. A staged fall, used in theatrical and film comedy
Charlie Chaplin pulled a buster right before the closing credits.

[Daphne – There, see what I mean?]

OH MY GOD! is that a lapsus daph? or you really believe that???

[Daphne – Listen buster, don’t forget that just 750 electors came between us and the dreadful fate of Sant as prime minister: and that despite all he had going against him. So no, it wasn’t a lapsus, just a reflection on the national disease of poor judgement.]
