A word I am not familiar with. Commonly used in the UK?

I quite like Britspeak.

"Churlish has its origins in late Old English, but its modern-day meaning of “deliberately rude” developed in the 14th century. It’s a fitting adjective to describe boorish or surly behavior. It can also describe a material that is difficult to work with, such as hard wood that’s resistant to quick whittling. Our prolific pal Shakespeare coined the phrase, “as valiant as the lion, churlish as the bear."

It should have said "Churlish not to" but it appears the spell checker is unfamilar with with Britspeak too Fairly common over here, but mostly us oldies.

I have added UK English to my spell checker. Helps, but is not perfect. I think aluminium is more correct for example. I'll throw in a colour or theatre sometimes.

She woke me up at around 2am and in slurred speech said “I got us a puppy!”

She was catching up with a friend in North Carolina (we are in Mass) and the topic of puppies came up. Her friend was fostering puppies that a shelter couldn’t hold and the rest was history

Ah…I see.

So, was the puppy still drunk when it arrived, or had it sobered up by then?

She likes Ruta22 the best but I think it’s because that is just want the bar had that we used to hang out at. They all seem pretty consistent though, at least according to her. I know very little about wine

I like Gascon. The puppy is adorable.
 
HNPD! Had rescue dogs before but never from a puppy so that will make the companionship even more long term andspecial. Great for your girls too!
