2009-03-01Anfisa10101010NoA 10 for all! Thanks, Carol! You're right, I was one of those people who would use the term, not knowing what it meant!! I was pretty shocked, and needless to say won't use it again, unless REALLY provoked! Those Cockneys are pretty clever! All the best

2008-12-28Rosa Lee10101010YesThank you so much for your response! The root meaning, "happy birth of Christ", should put the religious purist in-law in his place after suggesting that "feliz navidad" means only "happy celebration".
