--- Quote from: BenRG on 04 Mar 2020, 04:23 ---FWIW, the UK English spelling, as far as I was always taught, is 'pouf' but the brain does auto-associate sounds so effectively that this doesn't really matter. The communications centre of our brain jumps to the (wrong) meaning immediately and you're struggling to catch up!

Nah, among the unwashed masses it was always just "Poof"...
And someone of a homosexual nature was called "Poofy".
"Pouf" was people trying to be'classy' with it... but more generally... was the name of a type of small footstool... called a "poufee" in Scotland... mainly because they were usually heavily quilted. :)
It's a throwback, no doubt, (and not a very comfortable one to talk about... but yeah, that sub-title threw me!)

This is a bit of weird synchronicity...
Today, I was shocked to see one of these just in front of me...
(Or at least something VERY like it!)
sitnspin:
Three wheeled vehicles, especially ones with the third wheel in the front, are more unstable than two-wheeled ones.

--- End quote ---
Oh yeah, the Marx Bros. were the best.

Some people like the Three Stooges better. I, for one, care less for them.

Wingy:
OK, what is the make of that vehicle?
