Oh no, what are "Thieving bs" now? Is it connected to the Order of the British Empire. I'm lost.
This ding thing is making me crazy! |

Hi Xeb,
I wrote "bs" because I couldn't write the real word, which has something to do with being illegitimate.

Thanks Lynne, I feel less 'lost' now (not to say something else) regarding those "thieves bs" .
Amatsu, you're kidding me! "soooooo close!", 
OK so it's connected to the Members of the British Empire (MBE), isn't it! The Order of the British Empire has to do with medieval knighthood values something like that, then I'll just say "chivalry or knighthood among the thieves" although I don't think this expression exist in English. 'Tis not clear at all in my mind! |
