Some people, even on here don't like to be referred to as snowflakes or even if it is in th question.

Ya can't odds it.
Is that a betting term Cassa ?

Haven't come across it before.
What if a snowflake offends someone and that upsets me? Is there a new word for that, yet?
“Is that a betting term Cassa ?

Haven't come across it before.”

Never heard of “You can’t odds it” Mamy? No it’s not a betting term. It’s a colloquialism for “You can’t dispute it or argue with it”.
I hadn't - thank you.
I suppose the word derives from the fact that a snowflake is an extremely fragile thing.
can't odds it - can't understand or predict something - the expression's origins are from the gambling world (possibly cards, dice, or horse-racing or all of these) where the word 'odds' has been converted from a noun into a verb to represent the complete term implied in the use, ie, (I can't) calculate the odds (relating to reasons for or likelihood of a particular occurrence). Odds meaning the different chances of contenders, as used in gambling, was first recorded in English in 1574 according to Chambers (etymology dictionary), so the use of the 'can't odds it' expression could conceivably be very old indeed.

They'll eventually own it by saying it refers to their uniqueness paired with a deep and crisp and even demeanour. :-)
I thought a deep pan crisp and even was a type of pizza.
I am sorry to see a beautiful word likes snowflakes being used in this way. How slushy!
Yeah but you get my drift Tills?
We'll have to send for the snowplough if anyone posts the link yet again.
I do, Togo. :-)
If some need to borrow words and reassign them that's fine with me, it's always been done and saves thinking time and creative use of language.

They can call me anything they like as long as they don't call me late for dinner.
I'm extremely worried by all the reports from, I'm guessing now, Yorkshire, which seem to stress the danger of what's lurking just below the surface in all of this.

Th'undersnow.
Yellow snowflakes........ best not ay?
