OK so here are my suggestions for the letter “B”…any further contributions most welcome:-

BITCH/BASTARD
An unpleasant or despicable person.

BOLLOCKS
A word you are likely to say a lot

BARRISTER
A person called to the bar and entitled to practice as an advocate. You might need one of them if you have to go to court.

BAD DEBT
What you might find you have if you have to employ one of the above people.

BAD HAIR DAY
A day in which everything seems to go wrong. Expect to have a lot of these.

BAD TEMPERED
This goes with the territory.

BAG LADY
A homeless woman carrying her possessions in shopping bags. Try and avoid this.

BALANCE
Mental/emotional stability and a figure representing the amount of money in an account. Both of these will be severely depleted.

BALM
Something that has a soothing and restorative effect. Try and find a way of getting some of this.

BANKRUPT
What you might be if you have to employ lawyers.

BARBITURATES
Try and avoid these.

BARELY
Only just; “she was barely able to function”….expect some of this.

BASKET CASE
Expect a bit of this.

BATTLE
and a lot of this.

BATTLEAXE
Try not to turn into one of those.

BAYONET/BAZOOKAS/BOMBS
Try not to use these.

BEAUJOLAIS
This is good. Check out “Balm”

BEHAVIOUR
Don’t be surprised if this goes a little awry.

BELONGINGS
These have to be shared.

BEREAVE
This is how it can feel when you are grieving for the death of your marriage.

BETRAY
Please try not to do this, it makes things so much worse.

BLIND DATE
See above.

BLOG
Start one so as not to bore all your friends stupid.

BEVERAGE
Have lots of these.

BILL OF COSTS
Solicitors account of charges and expenses incurred. Expect a lot of these.

BINGE
Try to avoid wherever possible.

BISCUITS
These can help a lot.

BITES
These won’t help.

BLAME
To assign responsibility for a wrong or a fault. There’s a lot of this going on. It does get easier as time moves on. Three sides to every story and all that (his,hers and the truth).

BLADDERED
Strongly linked with “binge” and what you need to try and avoid.
