No you didn't. Fiz means face or mug. Funny language we speak eh?

Aye. I've just done TEFL. Try and teach someone English from scratch and it'll drive you up the wall. Quicksmart.

Bugger, there I go again.... :roll:

I believe that 'Fizzog' is a short hand way of saying 'Physiogonomy' which is a posh word for face.

It is posh. It's a sort of 'lashings of ginger beer' type of expression.
