Remember this is a suburb of Manchester where sitting at a table eating with a knife and fork instead of on the couch shovelling food in with a fork in front of the TV is considered posh.
It didn't occur to me for a moment that Cathy wasn't meant to know what the word means. I assumed it was supposed to be a joke, a boring, dreadful, embarrassing pun ^_^
Was when Yasmeen said to Cathy, that she found her Glasses in the Fridge, who the hell leaves there glasses in the fridge
I missed that but, if she said that, it sounds to me as if they are paving the way for a storyline about Alzheimer's disease or some other form of dementia.
I look forward to Cathy confusing a Cornetto with a clarinet soon.
From an upcoming episode when Cathy and Roy are relaxing to some classical music;
Cathy: "Ahh Roy, I do like the sound of this piece...very relaxing. What's it called?"
Roy: "Air on a G String, I believe"
Cathy: "Oooeer behave Mr Cropper, have you been rooting through my drawers?"
Also in last night's episode, Sally concluded one of her endless stand-offs with another character ( yawn ) with the line " Now I've got to go and bottom my tallboy" or something along those lines. Does an episode go by these days without at least one Carry-On style innuendo?
It's truly tiresome.
I thought that was pathetic too. No-one of Sally's age would use an expression like that. It's the kind of thing that 'Cissie and Ada' used to say to each other in the '70s and yes, every episode seems to have a similar corny innuendo.

This was just a poor rehashing, and I would've thought Cathy'd be the last person to spew crap like that.
I agree, she seems a little more cultured than that.
Perhaps a bit above a Kirk-ism though.
Corrie appears truly beyond repair nowadays.
It's playing up to the show's reputation for comedy when it used to come natural and be in character. Jonathan Harvey is the worst for this.
