Discussion

Kiedy niemowlę stara się chodzić i upadnie, to się mówi whoopsidaisy, no i upsidaisy.
geopiet Oct 8, 2019:
re: whoopsidaisies ... ? It a very mild exclamation made after some minor accident or mistake. Almost a verbal acknowledgement of the slip - certainly nothing like a swearword. It is often said cheerfully to young children as you pick them up after they have fallen over.
geopiet Oct 3, 2019:
it depends who's with me at the time
Imagine hitting your finger with a hammer. What do you say?
