Sometimes I love the internet

It's very good for looking up information where I just got the wrong end of the stick.

My interaction with live People is so limited, I misunderstand common words and phrases to the point of embarrassment.

Today I discovered what "Tupperware parties" meant.  Previously I thought it was housewives modelling sexy underwear.

    Yes Robert, I knew that meaning.....but I could tell that the others were talking about an alternative meaning because they were using laughing emojis and because I know that they have a good sense of humour.  Shard has now kindly explained to me that tuppence also means "female genitalia" as one might might say.

    I am now racking my brain imagining how many times I may have used the word tuppence in conversation....and how/if that might have been funny for other people.
