welshofdave asks 'anyone remember someone complaining about people using the phrase "detrain"?'
furry says 'vaguely'
furry says 'meaning 'for a driver to change trains', or something'
welshofdave thought it was for "getting off the train"
welshofdave says 'passengers, driver, guard, cattle, whatever'
furry nods
furry says 'seems to be, dictionarywise'
welshofdave says 'istr them complaining about its recent introduction'
welshofdave found it used in a book written back in 1963
furry smirks
furry thinks it's a horrible word, personally
furry prefers 'alight'
welshofdave nods
welshofdave dechairs to go for a piss
