The meaning of 'cadbury'

[NinaZara]

guys,

I watch the American Idol show and I always hear Simon Cowell says 'Very Cadbury'(I'm not even sure of the spelling or whether that's the word he's saying)

Does it mean old/antique/classic? Is it the same thing as saying 'Dad, you're such a dinasour'?

Because when I look up in the dictionary Cadbury is an iron age site in Somerset, England.

Apparently, a 'cadbury' is someone who can get drunk on a glass and a half -- it's based on the chocolate manufacturer's slogan. Isn't it interesting how new lingoes pop up?

By the way, I like your spelling of 'dinosaur' (it could be a good nickname for bad-tempered, as well as old-fashioned, Dinas)!

thanks Conchita.So basically Simon is blaming the alcohol for bad singing!

I'm laughing hard as I'm writing this.Look at what living in Japan has made me!15 years ago I would've never made this mistake in Spelling and Dictation!ha ha ha!

Thank you for pointing it out.I felt so silly!I do.

NinaZara, you're not alone. I'm sure 98% of the Americans watching American Idol don't know what this expression means. Cadbury chocolates aren't very popular here, and we don't hear that slogan.

I also don't know precisely what that phrase means... yet.
But if the incredible popularity of American Idol (and Simon) is any indication, there's a reasonable chance the expression could eventually take hold on this side of the pond, too.
