Language oddities
This morning, both of us in a rush, I saw Mrs Next Door. I had a horse on each hand, about to jump on GB, and she was taking the dogs out for a quick wee.
"I've overlain this morning," she shouted in explanation for her rush.
Given that the Baby wasn't with her, I was momentarily terrified, until I realised that she meant she'd overslept!
I've never come across that meaning before: I guess it's a (localised?) Kent thing. Anyone else ever heard it?
