It's not about would you cast her out, it's about would you take her in on a warm dry pleasant evening after romantic walk on the beach.

Wouldn't cast her out implies she's already in.

I've always wondered about the saying " I wouldn't throw her out for eating cookies in bed." as well. It's not just that one

But now I'm just nit picking. Although, if you got nits, it would seem to be pretty important to get rid of them.

This is why Tess suspects I'm borderline Asperger's.

I'm sure something in the forum rules prevents saying this, yet in context it's absolutely appropriate

Excellent, because when when used in this context, it's purely an adjective i.e. when placed in front of the word teuchter.

This reminds me of a song, Whisky Was My First.
Then one day I met a girl
Whose hair was ruby red.
We spent the whole day sober
But ended up in bed.
I went back home to my true love
I confessed my dreadful sin.
She said you lie, I know you well.
You've been at the pub again.

Sorry, carry on.

Readers of this thread may wish to note that I'm currently reading Compton Mackenzie's "Whisky Galore"... I've seen the film adaptation many times (it's one of my favourites - a lovely, gentle film), and the book promises to be just as good

I still think the original Black & White 1949 version was the best one.
