Rodgers and Hammerstein are rolling over in their graves since you’re obviously confused that Oklahoma! is really the third largest city in the state of Washington.
Don’t be silly. Olympia was a jazz song written by Sonny Rollins and first recorded by Miles Davis. Rollins got the title from a nickname for “margarine.”
No, Oleo is a derogatory term for an African-American who “acts white” for professional purposes.
I thought the Oreos were Baltimore’s baseball team.
You’re thinking of Orioles, of which there were eight to a Spanish dollar.
*¡Pero no! ***Real **was the name of John Edwards’ mistress and baby mama.
You’re thinking of Rielle Hunter, the star of McMillan and Wife.
You’ve got it all mixed up. **Rock Hudson **is slang for an amateur geologist.
I’m pretty sure you mean rock hound, a type of wheeling kick.
I thought a round house was a traffic intersection where the cars drive in one direction around a circle.
No, a roundabout is a hired hand employed for his strength rather than his skills, like the guys who put up circus tents.
Hmmmnn. When my Grandfather hired roustabouts, they were always guys who had quit before finishing high school.
True, dat!
Calm down people, clearly we’re talking about dropouts here which is a road junction in which traffic streams circulate around a central island. Duh!
You’re thinking of a roundabout, which someone already used a few posts ago - but they defined it incorrectly anyway, since it’s actually a '60s girl group produced by Phil Spector.
Nitpick: **Ronettes **are actually fourteen-line poems.
I believe the word you are thinking of is sonnet, which is a type of small piano.
(Doesn’t even crack the top 10 population-wise. I was going for Tacoma.)
Anyway, freckafree no doubt means schoenhut, a relative of the onion that is smaller and typically milder flavored.
We had another poster recently who was confused about shallot, which is actually the home of a lady immortalized in a poem by Tennyson and some John William Waterhouse paintings.
I’m sure you’re talking about Shalott, an insect secretion used as a glaze.
(Re: the piano, I was going for spinet.)
Do you mean Shellac, the former president of France?
