** Competition - Best translation of the word 'Tart' **

I found this posted over in the senate.

This could take some explaining… I’ve thought about this for a few minutes and trying to find a translation is not that easy, so this maybe an opportunity for a TPR competition. Best explination / translation of the word ‘Tart’ ( in its true TPR meaning ) wins a dinner at the next Mojo’s, payed for by me.

Can someone sticky this for a while.

…the Roly-Poly often fruity in nature ooo’eeerrr misses

A Tart & A Roly-Poly can be a common site in any Tea Shop
Or top British Pub.

Tart = same as slapper, but harsher, suggesting they sleep around

However, the English language being what it is, it must not be confused with some other versions of tart :wink:

Mince Tart.
Example: “I just baked a mince tart”

This does not mean I baked a minced slapper, to confuse the issue, this means fart.

To take the Majors’ approach

tart n. 1. A tart is much the same as a slapper, but is slightly less extreme and a little more omnisexual. Tarts spend hours perfecting make-up, hair, clothes, etc. before going out and waiting at the side of the dance floor to be pulled. Be warned, though - at the end of the evening, tarts tend to turn into slappers, just to make sure all that lip gloss doesn’t go to waste. Back, erm, on a more literary tack, the word may or may not be derived from “sweetheart”.
2. A small cake - perhaps a jam tart or a fruit tart. So when in “Alice Through the Looking Glass”, the rhyme goes “the knave of hearts, he stole the tarts” he wasn’t leaping off with his arms full of easy young ladies. We do also share the third meaning of the word, when it’s taken to mean “sour”.

Now we have many many members of TPR who could be compared to the “knave of hearts”, the one who always gets the tarts, onces again please do not confuse this into the knave eaten a can of beans :chuckle:

Now going back to roots of what is the definition of a real “tart”. The term began life as a term used for advertisement cards left in telephone call boxes, specifically in London, Soho. These became known as “Tart-Cards”. So a tart believes they are gorgeous, and lets everyone know they think so by “advertising” the <cough> assets they have been blessed with. (naturally or surgically)

Then we have internet tarts…now the definition of this could lead to many a university thesis in years to come. In general terms, to know the real meaning, it helps if you have met Sgt Bilko :nod:

“the knave of hearts, he stole the tarts” he wasn’t leaping off with his arms full of easy young ladies."

Are you entirely sure about that :smiley:

Tart…

A matured tartette that has finally conquered the mixed grill, without exploding… :smiley:

WOOF!

You’re onyl saying that so you can keep your money. Major nicked his reply from the dictionary - just cos you don’t want to fork out for a boiled chicken sandwich.

TART!

Hmm - not ever having been to a Mojo’s (yet!) one would imagine that those who do go imbibe in a lot of …?

Tart Fuel:
a sweet carbonated alcoholic beverage. Popularised in the late 1990’s, by several brands offering essentially soft drink mixed with spirits: “S/He’s been on the tart fuel all night; s/he’ll be up for it!”

Does this count? :wink:
(Australian regionalism)

Thank you everyone for attempting to clearly define tart to this Yankee. This seems to be one of those words with many meanings and uses. I may not have my finger on it but I now have a better idea what you mean when you accuse each other of being a tart, dating a tart and/or eating a tart. (pun intended)

To quickly sumarize a tart might be:

  1. a pastry of some sort.
  2. a lady who isn’t afraid to spread the love; in short a good date.
  3. a typical TPR member who more closely resembles Jabba the Hutt than Hans Solo.

Is that about right?

By Jove … I do believe he’s got it :smiley:

and as such, as soon as said award is awarded, I’ll remove the magic sticky glue.

Photo please.

Sgt Bilko, is a tart?, looks like a tart, wakes up with tarts (and a headache) or perhaps the tart is the headache to get rid of after breakfast (if in fact Sgt Bilko is a gentlemen about such things).

That is him with Mojo in the top pictures! :lol: Defo a big ol’ tart! :nod:

errrrm, Unstuck and come on then Sgt Tart who gets the grub
