Of course, Grant also played the character “Ukulele Ike” in the immortal BROADWAY SUPERVIXENS OF 1934, a role for which he was nominated for four Oscars and a Grammy.
True… but if nothing else, I hope you aree that a dictionary cite constitutes prima facie evidence, or a rebuttable presumption, that a word means what’s claimed.
