    Oh! I had to think what you meant then! I didn't click until I thought of pork pies, then I realised... lies!

    I like "cheeky" too. And "Eh, what?" "I say, old boy...", "Cheerio."
    My friends have deliberately started overusing cheeky because I started complaining about it. "Might go for a cheeky pint..." was a reasonable starting point - a pint of beer you probably shouldn't have but can manage to fit in... But then there was "go for a cheeky Nandos" (chicken) and the worst was when one of my friends went for a cheeky run. A CHEEKY RUN!? There is no way that you can have a "CHEEKY RUN" !
