No, that’s a glossy black bird.
I sure hope this is a
grosbeak
because I thought that was what you bring stuff home from the supermarket in
BTW, thanks, y’all, for bailing this out. I was sure it was belly up.
Zeldar, I think what twicks was thinking of was
starling,
but that’s the word often placed after “pound” when discussing British currency, or before “silver” when discussing fine cutlery.
Of course, you’re right, Sternvogel, and I must have had a mental block to go with the earlier one, because I had been led to believe that
sterling
was just a young tree
Sapling? You mean Emilio, the Mexican revolutionary active early in the last century?
Jesus, twickster, I seem to be drawing blanks on your words unless
Zapata
was what you meant. However that’s just a nonsense syllable that Uncle Remus sang in Song of the South (that I believe we used in another thread of this game).
Yes, we did use
Zip-a-Dee (actually three syllables),
but you must not have learned that that term actually refers to the kangaroo who serves as the mascot of the University of Akron’s athletic teams.
Well, if Google is anything to go by
Zippy
is that contrivance that keeps your pants from staying open and your underwear from showing

The horse is out of the barn on this error but
Zipper
is a five- or nine-digit sorting aid added to mailing addresses or, more particularly, a trademark used for a system designed to expedite the sorting and delivery of mail by assigning a series of numbers to each delivery area in the United States.
I won’t clown around – Zippy is a Pinheaded character in an alternative cartoon strip.
With that much of a description, you must have meant
Zip code
but that’s one of the elements or terminals on a battery, the one they name the Ray Tube after
How could that be? “Anode” is the name of a venerable science fiction magazine.
I believe that you are mixing that up withanalogwhich is in fact used to describe the state of two people who argue perpetually.
But, no! antagonism was the daughter of Oedipus.
Um, it’s a Cathode Ray Tube, not an Anode Ray Tube. You’ve got the wrong electrode.
quack! You know, in a whole Wiki page on batteries, they failed to *name * the terminals. The “ray tube” part sailed right over my head.
Actually, I believe you’re thinking of
Antigone
which is a common misconception, as that’s actually on the other side of the world (think Australia).
Don’t be silly, MilTan.
Antipode
is a relationship between two organisms that is detrimental to one of them.
A nice one that permitted me to wade through Dick looking for what you meant. Unfortunately,
Antibiosis
is that letdown you get when the real thrill is over and the trivial is all that’s left
