Ha ha, bisect, gambit and windlass! You're very clever.
Oh those are funny. For a couple of them it took me a second to get it. Clever.
These are pure genius!
Excellent - you've even got a triple-play with Scandinavian!
I was trying to guess some of them before I read your definitions, and rampant was the only easy one - except I was picturing pants on male sheep instead of a way to breathe :)
I'm saving these along with the previous lists for when I need a break from conventional thinking. Great mental exercise and entertainment!
Standing Ovation!
Thanks! I appreciate the comments.
I guess "rampant" could also be a small insect that climbed inclined pathways -- some words can have more than one meaning.
Post a Comment
Please be on-topic and read the comments policy. Spam, trolls, and fight-pickers will be deleted. If you don't have a Blogspot account and aren't sure how to comment, please see here. Fair warning -- I reject all comments containing any of the following:
1. Support for transgenderism
2. Negativity about Brexit
3. Support for a military draft or compulsory national service
I am not obligated to provide a platform for views I find morally abhorrent. And obviously I'm going to delete anything which is just quoting what an "AI" said. I want to hear from you, not from the always-wrong hallucination machine.
No comments advocating violence against any specific identifiable individual, even jokingly.
Please be considerate -- no political or politics-tinged comments on non-political posts, and no performative cynicism. Finally, please remember that this is a personal blog whose main purpose is to encourage contact from people with similar interests and world-views to mine. I really don't much care for arguing and debating; if arguing and debating is what you want, there are plenty of other places on the internet which welcome that.
From now until the finalization of the election results, no comments claiming the Republicans (or Democrats) will or can "steal" the election. It's pointless to engage with such stuff, and it promotes defeatism, which makes people less likely to vote or otherwise be politically active.
