My granny said shredded wheat !! P -----Original Message----- From: Poetryetc: poetry and poetics [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Tina Bass Sent: 22 November 2008 10:14 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: word query Does anyone here know what 'sevish' means? My children are learning about compass directions and I suddenly remembered a sentence I was taught as a child (by my great grandmother?) 'Never Eat Sevish Wheat'. I believe that I was told that it meant 'rotten', which would make sense in this context but I just want to check. A quick google search has not been very helpful. Thank you in advance Tina -------------------------------------------------------------- [log in to unmask] http://www.fatmandancing.co.uk http://www.myspace.com/fat_man_dancing =
