Words & Wordplay - November 2006

Sorry to disilusion all the dreamers but the word hippy means to me the following:

In the swinging 60's:

The BBC created the hippy and nowaday's they try to spread the rumour that we were all drug taking groupies, in truth the majority of people had to leave school at 14 to get a job to help the family budget.

The only people that were hiipy's were from the rich who could afford to go to unniversity.
Unniversity was a word from another planet to the majority, who were just about able to afford a school blazer(secondhand)

The true facts are:

We went out to Mod event's at Clacton Southend and liked Georgie Fame, the Beatles etc.

Hippy's were never in the majority, drugs were heard of but never seen.

Hippy's were from the RICH and able to dream dreamers.

They were able to be hippy's because we worked to pay for unniversities that created people like gordon Brown Tony Blair etc

So BBC tell the truth

It would appear shaking a stick is something done while making a point or during scolding

What exactly does it mean to get something "up to snuff" ? How do you know when you've actually reached "snuff". What is "snuff"? And why is it so important that we get there?

Like Wm. for William or Thos. for Thomas (actually, those are the only two I can think of). They're not nicknames, they're not initials... is there a word for it?
