You could say Bare with me but you might not enjoy the response.

motherinferior · 29/02/2008 20:45

I feel quite bare in mind sometimes.

Al Paccino is usually bare in my mind.

ProfessorGrammaticus · 29/02/2008 20:46

Sometimes my mind is completely bare.

It is of course also important to distinguish between bear behind and bare behind.

or in brief.... bear means support/tolerate bare means naked. But obviously there are loads of exceptions!!
