Can barbecue be used for BBQ?
Can the name of a Roman god be used for Roman god, ex. Neptune or a goddess?
thanks"
I would definitely use "Grumpy old sod" for a grumpy person, and BBQ is the abbreviation for Barbecue, so go for it! For the Roman god - I made a point of refreshing my memory of the names of the Roman (vs. Greek) hoping to find one by name, myself!
Would this work for scruff??"...with honeyed brown eyes and the lightest shadow of a beard on skin that looked tan from the sun."

Ashley that will work for scruff.
Erin wrote: "For Pharmacy, can I use "chemist"? It's from an old british mystery."After a quick Google search, I will accept chemist if it's in the context that the person is going to the chemist and not just talking about someone who is a chemist, since I am looking for a place (pharmacy) and not a person (pharmacist).
