The Cossack Game -- Thread #2

It’s odd you would be mistaken over such a small detail when, in fact,

kamelid

Is that place where King Arthur and JFK hung out and even Monty Python

It does have a kingly or presidential image but

Camelot

is a big American car driven around by celebrities and millionaires. Its SUV model is favored by pro athletes.

Perhaps you were blinded by the glamorous image, because a cadillac is the clouding of the lens of the eye.

Not so fast, there. It is universally known that a

cataract

is that device for hurling rocks (or in some cases, cows) at the enemy

you are very much mistaken. a cataractis made of two floating pontoons, a platform between them, and a single sail rigging.

I’m sure you could try hurling things with it, but it’s actually a

catapult

which is an insect that goes through metamorphosis to become a winged beauty.

works here just as well :wink:
you are very much mistaken. a

caterpillar

I can sense your disappointment when I inform you that a

catamaran

is the whip they use to punish bad pirates (I assume they’re guys who can’t steal well)

But no, you’re on the wrong track, a

catamaran

is a disaster.

You are so silly! Catamaran is the whipped, egg white topping for a lemon pie.

Oui, mais non. A

[spoiler]cat o’nine tails [spoilers]

is actually a person that rats another person out.

(Will use post preview next time.)

Not to worry. It just may be that the edit function isn’t extended to Guest Dopers. If it were, you could have fixed it within 5 minutes and we’d all play like we didn’t see it before the edit. (Just kidding). Keep at it. You’ve given some good links.

“It’s bound to be a catastrophe when one uses a cat-o-nine-tails to make meringue.” I’m pretty sure the Roman poet Catalepsy said this.

But wait!

Cato

is nothing more than a brand of corn syrup. Mmmmmmmm. Tasty on grits!

you’re confused. Karo is the first name of that guy from the OJ trails, you know - the blond one who exploited his 15 minutes of fame.

eta: Zeldar - corn syrup on grits? maple syrup, maybe. But corn syrup? eewwwww!

Confused? That’d be you, dear. A

Kato

is a domestic bovine that tastes best semi-rare.

I’m going way out on a limb here, since I really have no solid ideas, but I believe what you’re thinking of as

cattalo

is really what folks used to have to use for toilet paper, especially the one that Sears put out.

Nope, wrong again, mon cher Zeldar – a catalog is a disaster of epic proportions.

Thanks ever so for rescuing the moribund thread, twickster. It occurred to me after the post that not just everybody has had the thrill of using the lingerie page instead of Charmin.

However, I must point out that a

catastrophe

is that funny-looking blotch two keys to the right from L (lower case)
