Are you quite sure? Because I’m certain that a holiday is a tall, flowering biennial.
That’s close, but
hollyhock
is the place where they make a lot of movies and TV shows
Blasphemy! Hollywood is a sacred relic of the True Cross!
Surely you can’t be trying to say
Holy Rood
because that’s what you get on top of your house after a storm with basketball sized hail (not all that often, I admit)
How did anyone measure hail before the invention of modern sports?
Alas, I must inform you that holey roof is that elite group of male singers from Yale. “We are poor little lambs who have lost our way…”
Paging Hal Briston!
I suppose they must have referenced fruits and veggies and small animals. I can just hear it now: possum sized hail.
But I must point out that
whiffenpoof
really refers to the game you see them playing on the deck of ships and also on tables in bars where you have a layout similar to curling but a smaller stone to work with
I’m so sorry to correct you, but it’s from one of my favorite books. Mayella asked Tom to bust up a shuffle board.
Well, I didn’t read the book, but I did see the movie, and
chifforobe
is one of those pesky little bugs that get on you and itch like forty hells
Oh, yeah! A definite hazard when picking blackberries. We used to paint the bites over with clear nail polish to smother them.
But you’re confused. Chigger was Roy Rogers’ horse.
I truly believe you mean well, but
Trigger
is that branch of mathematics that deals with triangles and the relationships of their various angles and such
::shudders::
OMG!!1! Trigonometry is an STD. You didn’t know that???
Relax. Don’t allow your confusion to frighten you. Surely you know that
Trichomoniasis
is nothing more than the sort of flag that France uses, although I did suspect you may have meant
chlamydia
which is closer to
Calculus than Trigonometry
No, no tricolor
Is that thing they used to take reading on planets in Star Trek. Didn’t you learn anything growing up?
I can’t say I’m reassured, when I know that so many people have died from tri-color in refugee camps and the like.
Almost, but not quite. The
tricorder
is that flutelike instrument they play at Renaissance Festivals
Ah, yes, the common misunderstanding rears its head again. You must have heard that
trichinosis
is just a fancy word for a trial
I see I’ve rejoined this game just in time to correct your misperception and to state that
recorder
is a dairy product (not technically a cheese) often used in Italian cooking.
Welcome back, Sternvogel, to the realization that
ricotta – pronounced ri-GOTT on The Sopranos
is just another name for a faucet
No, ricotta is an actor who starred in Goodfellas.
No, ma’am, a
Liotta
is a yacht race
