I like the word 'conflag' because of the dual meaning:

Short for conflagration (fire)

A play on 'conflab' (meet-up/discussion)

[Ramon]

You mean like 'Canuck'

As previously posted.

[stevecairney]

cannot find a name for a Canadian in the vein of 'yank' for US citizen.

A 'Canook'.

Ahem...I'm guess I'll have to rain on all parades because it was me, TJ, TJCoro* who first poted this at POST # 10. Take a look for youselves, muchachos.

I did, and that's why I posted what I did. Rokkit posted the same as you, and I posted something different. It's like you aren't reading it or something...

"A Herfs a Herf for 'a' That "

[TJCoro]

'Erb Alpert and the Brass Balls Band!

I THINK YOU WILL FIND THATS HERP ALPERT, UP TILL NOW HERF IS OK.

...as in "Herpes Alpert?"

I always kinda' liked "Herb Albert", myself.

a Bit of back ground into the word Herf i found on the net, don't know how accurate it is.

"The term "Herf" used to describe the smoking of a cigar comes from the 1960's in America when many cigar smokers listened to Herf Alpert and the Tijuana Brass while smoking their favorite stogie. The music was latinesque and thus provided an atmosphere of semi-cuban reminiscence. Soon, cigar smokers began to say things like "I was with the Brass last night and the Herf was so good I thought I was in Havana." Thus, we can all thank Herf Alpert for his influence on 'garbonics."

The Collective noun for Smokers is a "confraternity of smokers" could be shortened to a Confrat ??

I THINK YOU WILL FIND THATS HERP ALPERT, UP TILL NOW HERF IS OK.

I LOVE A PARADE!

I hate to rain on YOUR parade, but these are two completely different articles.

NamesTJ, TJCoro, and this thread is getting way too much print, IMO.


Thank god for my balls!

Errr... hate to rain on your parade, dave, old bean (ghawd, I love talking limey!), but, I must point out that none other than me, myselves, posted this yesterday, essentially the gist of what you have reproduced at insufferable length (ghawd, I am so humble!).
