Full Version: Describe Yourself With The Word "times"
Forums > ABRSM > Forums Cafe

As many of you will have discerned, the latest colloquial phenomenon is to describe the current state of affairs with a prefix followed by the word "times". So, for example, if something is going well, one would say "good times". If you are on the computer, you might say "computer times". It is quite acceptable to refer to a past occasion that has been a success and say "it was good times". Let's see what we can come up with!

EDIT: Before anyone accuses me of being too loud too late, my mother has taken it upon herself to fall asleep on my bed a couple of feet from where I'm practising, so she obviously doesn't mind. blink.gif ...Now to play something she hates so I can have my bed back...
