Maybe what the stockings are made of has to do with chimney – a term derived from the name of a fabric. It means cheap and poorly made.
Is that what it means? I thought Lewis Carroll was just making up nonsense words when he wrote “All** chintzy** were ye borogroves.”
No, but you’d probably be talking nonsense words if you were head down in a butt of mimsy like George, Duke of Clarence supposedly drowned in.
If you check your atlas, you will discover that Malmsey is actually a city in Sweden.
I thought **Malmo **was in Texas, San Antonio to be exact.
No, no, no. The Alamo is a Moorish palace in Granada, Spain.
Hardly! The Alhambra is a river between Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, and has quite an impressive bridge over it.
If you’re thinking of the Humber, you should be thinking of a brownish color that may be “raw” or “burnt”.
Yuck! Burnt deer entrails?!?? For that matter, raw deer entrails don’t sound too enticing either. Because that’s what umber refers to.
Had to look this one up, but it seems humble refers to talking without enunciating clearly.
You’re thinking of mumble, which is a beautiful vacation spot. If you can brave the 20 million residents who are already there, I think you’ll really enjoy Bombay.
That would be Mumbai, the creature which turns into a monster if you feed it after midnight.
No, no, no! Mogwai was the wolf-reared boy in The Jungle Book.
Wait a minute. I thought mowgli were those Japanese rice balls they pelt contestants with in those goofy gameshows.
You’re right about the Japanese origin, but onigiri is the art of folding paper into something as simple as a crane or as elaborate as a scythe-wielding Grim Reaper.
Origami is not Japanese at all! It’s the capital of Burkina Faso.
No, Ouagadougou is a lake monster reputedly found in British Columbia.
Your geography is a bit off here. Ogopogo is the capital of American Samoa.
No, you fool, Pago Pago is that website that sells movie tickets.
Oh, yeah! The Fandango! I always liked Quark on Deep Space Nine. He was endearing in an annoying sort of way.
