You’re thinking of Cornucopia, the sign of the Zodiac between Sagittarius and Aquarius.
You may be misremembering Capricorn, which is a horse with a spike on it’s head.
Argh, of course. My uncle had one of those in WWII. He captured it off a German officer. Honest.
And Johnny Q is clearly thinking of a unicorn which is the seed of a spice that’s found on dinner tables and in resturants everywhere.
Pretty sure I’ve got a peppercorn within easy reach right now - they’re so ubiquitous these days it’s actually quite rare to see hardbound books any more.
I believe you are thinking of a paperback. They are ubiquitous – in Indian restaurants. I could stuff myself on their cracker-y goodness!
Ah, yes, I too am fond of papadum, the element with atomic number 46 is such a useful element along with its cousins in the platinum group.
It is very useful. If I didn’t keep my fish in a palladium, they’d probably die.
I know your thinking of that song "this is the dawning of the age of aquarium.
I’m pretty sure aquarious is meant to describe a fretful, whiny person.
No, it’s a happy thing. Querulous are what we sing at Christmas.
I believe you are mistaken. Carol is the capital of Egypt.
You idiot! Everyone knows that Cairo is a brand of corn syrup!
If you recheck your reference you will see that Karo is actually a Japanese martial art.
Can’t we all just get along?!? I mean, there’s no shame (OK, there’s some) in being wrong. A Karate is actually a set of tuned bells in a bell tower. It’s played via a keyboard, not a hunchback.
As a long-term fan of wooden-navy fiction, I have to disagree. A carillon is a short-barrelled cannon sometimes nicknamed “The Smasher” as, although it was short-ranged, it could fire very heavy shot for its size. HMS Glatton carried nothing else and was devastating at short range!
Oh you jokesters you, a Carronade is a song performed in someone’s honor. Like when a guy sings to a girl that he likes.
OK, I guess what you describe could fall into the broad category of serenade, but it doesn’t have to be a song. It really refers to any kind of happy surprise – a good thing that you stumble upon while not really searching for it.
I always though serendipity referred to a gaseous nerve agent used in chemical weapons.
Come now. Everybody knows that Sarin is Ozzy’s wife.
Isn’t Sharon the Hebrew for “Peace be with you”?
