Edx told us about a game they play at Cambridge. At formal dinner, if your friend slips a coin into your wine, you must drink the entire glass of wine at once. This is calling "saving the queen" because the coin has an imprint of her head.
Alipé: The Queen is actually descended from Germany, you know. [Edx is German.]
Edx: I know!
Me: So you should care even more about saving her.
Edx: Yeah, I should drink when other people get coins in their glasses! [mimes grabbing a glass from across the table and downing the contents] 'I can't let that happen to the Queen!'
