Example: fanny, fag, chips . . .

    What does "thats" mean? What does "i" mean? Where's the closing punctuation at the end of your last sentence?

    I just recently learned that the word 'trump' means 'breaking wind' in parts of the UK.  That would be an unfortunate, yet somehow appropriate name, for a US presidential candidate.
