It means from what I.ve got, if I managed to understand it right, that Clive was a bit of a sod, by pointing out in detail the meaning of the lexicon used. No double chin here, just amused. :)
Still, I can.t help but asking, in usual dialogue, is this term used in a derogatory manner, or not? I mean like, for example in spanish, and perhaps in english as well, hijo de puta/son of a bitch, can be used as an offense, or as a casual expression, sometimes used by men to express respect to the achievements of other men, without sounding creepy. I can.t explain it better, but I.m sure you get the point. The tone of voice gives the meaning, not the words.

sod it, its late good nite:sorrow:

In fact, I was just obliquely pointing out that 'sod' can also be used as a verb e.g. 'sod off' means 'go away'. In English ' sod' is a fairly mild expression.
'Sod it' means that you are no longer interested in 'it' and also slightly annoyed with 'it'.

Well.it.s quite appropriate for a non native english speaker to ˇˇsod offˇˇ at this point. Not meaning that I.m not interested or annoyed, but only that it.s too much english in here. :P

You're quite correct Radu_Andrei, these expressions are often used as a bit of fun and in jest, or the opposite meaning of what the dictionary says they mean.

People down here in Austraya speak a language that is vaguely similar to English, so something like "you bastard!" is NOT actually derogatory, because we often insult people as a term of endearment.
