The first usage is shown in the lower tweet. No idea what he was trying to work out. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

The life of a male lion (assuming no hunters) has to be the best in the animal kingdom. Basically shagging and lying around doing nothing. The women do all the childcare, go hunting and bring you a steak every now and then. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

The process of adding air to ice cream. It was already out a decade before she worked at J Lyons. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

It would have been right up her street though - ripping off the punters by adulterating the product with fresh air, so as to sell less actual ice cream for the same price. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

In fairness I'd say that's the dream of every product manufacturer if you can do it. Link to post Share on other sites
