About "playgooseberry"

<!-==text==begin==-> Hi Doc,I learned theterm “play gooseberry” from my flatmate who camefrom London. Basically it just means “to be thethird wheel”. I know in Oz people use “tag-along”.Do you use that term?

Cheers,

Kenith

oh, that's interesting about " play gooserry". but we can't use it in our life, we often say: hi, don't to be the third person, or hi:don't be a bulb. may be it is the different of culture.
