ahhh, yes, i see that now.
presumably the OEDmommies only thought i could handle 10 of these at a time.
which is probably about Right.
certainly the
22 hostess pyjamas found in hostess, n.
is too Hot for my Tired Blood --and definitely not to be mentioned on a Family
List.
and the
23 Jiminy Christmas!
celebration only works if accompanied by something like Haydn's Surprise
Symphony.
hey, surely the
44 piccaninny Christmas found in piccaninny, n. and adj.
can't be Politically Correct, can it?
and the
40 osteochondromas found in osteo-, comb. form
sounds Dreadfully Painful, even for the most ambitious of middlevil
flagellants.
hey, John, who *was* St. Osteochondro, anyway?
was he Expunged from the calandar in '65?
i certainly hope so.
>> of which my favorite has to be "baby-doll-pyjams"
> Yes, that one struck me as well. If Bill East is still subscribed to the
list, perhaps he could offer more explanation.
yeahbut, then we'd all have to put up with his unsuferable Levityness which,
surely you recall, caused such Teeth Knashing amongst the Mommy Class on the
list (only coincidental with his list demise, obviously).
>Presumably it would be celebrated by English Benedictines as a feast in PJs,
rather than copes or albs.
probably a great deal of variation, there, depending upon the regional
customs, i should think.
John?
