Happy New Year -- Caveat

[Lynque]

Happy New Year, everyone, and with that . . .

With the December appearance of

Knock up:
Produce or create something quickly

red flags should abound. "Slap together" might be well advised.

What say you?

PS: For those yet to know (in the Northeast, anyway), the PV has to do with a lady's state of expectantcy, as it were, and don't you know!

"knock up" is American slang for 'make pregnant' ; "knock up' is proper British English for 'wake someone up in the morning by knocking on their door'.

I don't know that "slap together" sounds very much better.

The context is, of course, all important. There's a world of difference between knocking up a woman and knocking up a bookcase, and anyone who doesn't know the difference really needs to get out more.
