What's another British way of saying "capital idea"? |
|
I have it on the tip of my tongue, the phrase I'm looking for, but it won't come to me.
Seems like it might be a person's name.
But I'm tired, and the mind is foggy.

3. Oh, then you mean "Cunning Plan"! |
|
Blackadder: Baldrick, what are you doing out there?
Baldrick: I'm carving something on this bullet sir.
Blackadder: What are you carving?
Baldrick: I'm carving "Baldrick", sir.
Blackadder: Why?
Baldrick: It's a cunning plan actually.
Blackadder: Of course it is.
Baldrick: You see, you know they say that somewhere there's a bullet with your name on it?
Blackadder: Yes?
Baldrick: Well, I thought if I owned the bullet with my name on it, I'd never get hit by it, 'cos I won't ever shoot myself.
Blackadder: Oh, shame.
Baldrick: And, the chances of there being two bullets with my name on them are very small indeed.
Blackadder: That's not the only thing around here that's "very small indeed". Your brain for example, is so minute, Baldrick, that if a hungry cannibal cracked your head open there wouldn't be enough inside to cover a small water-biscuit.

Or maybe that's more an Irish thing.

6. It's definitely British |
|
But not the word I'm working for.
