London to a brick, the web reveals all
At the espresso machine, Peter told me that having my work schedule would make him downright ropeable. Imagine my surprise when, having taken a look-see on Google for the definition, I found nowt. Eventually, the web revealed that "ropeable" means "angry, irritable". He also pointed me to this site of Australian slang, which reminded me of Ben Schott's "perilously close to useful (sic)" Schott's Original Miscellany.
