Last week I wrote about my annoying new “What about cats?” tic, but there’s some contention amongst my friends about how new it really is, with some claiming it’s been around for months.

I do have one tic that’s definitely new on the scene though, and I find it a lot less irritating:

“I’m a solid”

As well as enjoying it and the ideas it conjures up, I’m also enjoying the range of responses from my friends.

TH: I’m a solid.
Fat Sister: Technically you’re a solid, a liquid and a gas.

TH: I’m a solid.
Poppy: How solid?
TH: As solid a lamb’s testicle in a tumble dryer.
Poppy: So not very solid then.

TH: I’m a solid.
Will: Prove it.
