Ages ago, it was decided that a new verb should be added to the dictionary, in honour of the esteemed Professor Emeritus of the Northern Ireland bloggaratti. Yes, to StrayToaster became acceptable language.

Apparently, given context and follow-up, the adjective Ed means ‘excessively self deprecating to the point of being thick’.

Well, it’s better than nothing, I suppose…
