The themers were fun to say, for one thing, and the reveal was another version of a parsed-phrase reveal that was up just a short time ago. The bit about not giving the specific name of the second dog in the cross - clearly that would have given away the answer too easily. I thought a lot of the answers were young and cute, but even I (well beyond young and cute) say "OHHEY" when I realize I've been looking at someone I didn't at first recognize (lately, because of the mask).<br /><br />@CDilly52 1:22 PM, I enjoyed your story.

Nor would there even be an Anglo term in a Francophone city.

Also had to scratch my brain for MONOGYNY, a term I easily would have put in 60 years ago.<br /><br />CHANTEYS are, I always think, shanties sung by lumbermen, probably dating to the birth of the timber industry in Canada -- the French for "sing" is chantez, easily changed to chantey. But that is a debate that hundreds have taken part in. A sea shanty (same origin no doubt) is what sailors sing. The short ones were sung while working on deck, turning capstans or hauling sails. The longer, more storytelling ones were sung by sailors in their off time (barring an emergency, sailors worked 12 hour shifts, switching over at 4:00. They "went below" to sleep in their hammocks, but of course had 4 hours or so to eat, sing, and sometimes dance.old timernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35115061.post-85713618515931767412020-11-03T13:33:42.018-05:002020-11-03T13:33:42.018-05:00Perhaps I have Election Day mojo but this one was ...Perhaps I have Election Day mojo but this one was easy for me!<br /><br />Laurennoreply@blogger.com
