And another thing, why do we now speak of levveraging instead of prying or levering? I have never used a tyre levver but I do lever things.
I heard someone in a radio programme telling a tale of being stuck in a 'phone box and being unable to get any purchase to levverage herself out.

You can't say plump any more. She or He would have been a person of a certain weight...

Can’t say he or she? Time for an old Ray Davies track perhaps.
A Sevenist who scans the forum but does not contribute emails me to ask, did Henry’s picture a few days ago actually indicate the night club in Old Soho mentioned in the song?

Upon phoning a friend, his teenage son answered with, "Ugh". So I replied, "Ughhhm, ughhhh." He replied, "Ughhh?" to which I responded, "Ughhh? Ughhh? Ughhh?" he put the phone down. I rang again, this time enquiring, "Is that the Ughhh household?" - and he finally got the message.
