Thursday, 1 November 2013 (FW 250.10)

On November 7 we stopped at

"Spickspuk! Spoken." (250.10)



A few favourites of the day:


Some were amused by:

Avis was there and trilled her about it. (250.1)


Speakers of German got something out of:
Willest thou rossy banders havind? 
(Willst du Rosenbänder haben?(250.3)


Many liked Fritz's hint that:

A window, a hedge, a prong, a hand, an eye, a sign, a head and keep your other augur on her paypaypay (249.16)
spells heliotrope when the words are considered as the names of Hebrew, or Phoenician, letters: window (H), hedge/fence (E), prong/ox-goad (L), hand (I), eye (O), sign/mark (T), head (R), augur (Auge) (O), pay (P)  
(cf.  A Wake Newslitter; cf. also Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable

Most were appalled at:

He finges to be cutting up with a pair of sissers and to be buntings of their maidens and spitting their heads into their face pails. (250.08)
