ON radio and television I often hear 'sore' which usually means 'having seen.'

'Droring' crops up quite often, being the method of creating a picture on paper or canvas.

Recently, on Countdown I noticed contestants asking for a vowel or a 'continent.'

If they ever get the latter and it is Australia, they have the 18 points jackpot.
