Translation question again.

I have noticed references to fairre dust and farrie liquid in some recent posts.

I have no clue as to what these people are refering to.

Are they infact some kind of useful things for lubrication(My guess)?

Or are they some type of magic reference?

Please forgive the denseness of one of us from across the pond..
Thanks,
Zornt

To my knowledge, fairy dust is just that the dust of fairies & is alleged to have magical powers but is very rare...

Fairy liquid on the other hand is a washing up liquid for your pots & pans etc... Hope this help clear it up, we are after all divided by a common language !

1 Essential ingrediends for fairy cakes
2 Washing up liquid after cooking said fairy cakes.

NB neither "fairy "nor "washing up" have the same meaning on either side of the pond. Hope this clears up the confusion.

Cleaning product, will have lubricating qualities too in some circumstances but not it's purpose. Cleans pots, pans, plates and cutlery etc
