FH Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 As KevSull knows, I subscribe to "A Word a Day"... in an effort to expand my vocabulary. Today's is... Rover boy (RO-vuhr boi) noun A brave but naive person. [From Rover Boys, a series of children's books by Edward Stratemeyer (1862-1930).] FH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevSull Too Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 I saw that this morning, and was hoping it went no further! 😬You laugh at me because I'm different, I laugh at you because you're all the same. 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.Mupferit Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 But thankfully it has now gone further 😬 Thankyou dear fullharness. 'Brave but naive' probably describes the Welsh rugby teams belief that they can beat England on Sunday. 😬 😬 😬 What say you Kev 🤔 Swiiing lowww, sweeeeeet chaaaariottt!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nick Woods Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 My definitions 😬 no doubt they can be improved on ... Rover Boy :- the most common type of Boy. Prefers cars that are powered by cheese. Often makes up for the light weight of the engine by being 3 stone overweight himself. Has a tendency to whine and remove his head at frequent intervals. Doesnt admit to liking Metros but often has a secret fetish for them Crossflow Boy :- A bit of a traditionalist this one, likes flat cap, pipe and slippers. Prefers boat anchors to engines and is convinced they dont make anything like they used to. Doesnt like cheese. Tends to be noisy and to drink a lot. Zetec Boy :- A Crossflow boy who is trying to be a new man. Usually ends up with a bigger anchor than before. Vauxhall Boy :- Convinced that his is the one true way. Can be a tad on the hefty side but has legendary speed and reliability, even though he is the only one who says so Biker Boy :- Likes things that are small, light and make lots of noise. Doesnt like going backwards Duratec Boy :- A mythical creature said to be propelled entirely by speculation and rumour. Allegedly the new Rover Boy but , like the Yeti, has rarely been sighted in the wild Nick Red and Black 1.6K supersport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Woods Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 Pinto Boy :- Thinks boat anchors are too light, prefers ones intended for supertankers. Likes things rough and ready. Hangs to the right Nick Red and Black 1.6K supersport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
