I use it in my thoughts quite a bit, but haven't actually made the noise.
Something about having to stop and explain it. Another is often heard when my
wife looks on horrified as I pour a glass full of whisky and and I reply,
"What? It's just a wee dram." <g> (She's a nurse, so she knows what a dram
actually is, and it ain't a glass full, unless it's a mighty small glass,
unworthy of good whisky.
