The marvellous Neil Innes answered with this word yesterday with a Tour de France question on Christmas University Challenge.  I thought well I be buggered!

Wow! Thanks for the information, rogue-mother, Calilasseia and Alan W.  There was just something about that word that piqued my interest.  I apologise for my narrow-mindedness; I'm normally quite open-minded when it comes to lexicology: It's such a complex and ever-evolving behemoth of a subject that it's practically organic!  I won't be forgetting metoo in a hurry; I wish I could say the same for every other unusual word out there.

What's up with this rather odd "metoo" word?  I entered it in the Collins Dictionary/Scrabble Word finder and it didn't recognise it.  If it's not Scrabble worthy then it's not a word to be taken seriously (for now, anyway).

Happy Easter folks!

miro (also miro tree)
noun (pl.miros)
An evergreen coniferous New Zealand tree which yields useful timber.

Cheers me dears!

Hia folks, thank you for your kind greetings!  Unfortunately I do not have two brains in my possession, but I am possessed by two dysfuctional hemispheres  :-R

I do own a castle though, but it's only a model.  I keep it in my secret apartment along with my pointy birds located at Dillmans Grove.

Cheers,
Gav :D

Words / Word suggestion from Tuesday 4th Sept Standard

Hello everybody  :D

I came across this interesting word 'unica', which wasn't recognised in this standard puzzle.  It's the plural form of unicum, meaning a unique example or specimen (from Latin 'unicus' as in 'unique').

Cheers,
Gav.
