choc-o-block seems to have quite a few spelling variations. Does anyone know which is the more widely recognized variation? Just a few I came across; chocoblock choc-o-block chock-o-block choc'o block Thank you. walrus
Member Dunno, but I think I'd probably use an
a rather that an
o :
chockablock ,
chock-a-block , etc.

Member Jerry, Does that mean they are pregnant or just chock full of something?

Isn't a chocablocaholic someone addicted to large pieces of cacao?
Member Mmmm! It could be me.
Member I have a theory that women want to eat chocolate even when they're not hungry in much the same way as men want to drink beer when they're not thirsty.

actually, Richard, I've found that beer and chocolate complement each other quite nicely.
Member Young's Chocolate Stout is a fine brew.

Member Young stout chocolate brew? Sounds inviting
...as long as it tastes of dark chocolate and molasses and not creamy milk chocolate. The stout label makes it sound dark and rich. Is it available in the states? I am more a chocolate person than a beer person, in keeping with Richard's theory. But, I am not adverse to combining the two.

Richard English
Member Oh, yes, I know of 2 places in town where I've seen this available! Yum!
