Treacle
cloying sentimentality or flattery.

"enough of this treacle—let's get back to business"

Pass the bucket, please, .............quick.

Apparently, it's cockney rhyming slang: treacle tart = sweetheart. I didn't know that, just looked it up...

There you go, Veggie, you're a sweetheart. Who'd have figured

I watch the plants - you need the seed head/ pod of whatever you are saving to dry as much as possible while on the plant.
That does mean that some plants will stop producing as it has already set seed.

I often use wedding favour bags to bag the seed head to stop it bursting open/or all the seed blowing away.

I thought he was implying you were as thick as treacle   . I thought that was brave 

The conclusion has to be - none of us have any idea what Broadway is saying.

Undoubtedly, but I'm sure he was being friendly........treacle
