A CONTEST
I was reading in the BIG BOOK and reached “r” and then “re” and then “red”. I was surprised at how many phrases or words start with “red”. So, how many words or phrases start with “red”. The winner gets bragging rights once again. I invested everything with Madoff.
Here’s one “I BET YOU DIDN’T KNOW”.
“Discovering in his mouth a tongue
He must
his palaver balk;
So keeps it running all day long,
And fancies his red rag can talk.”
Red Rag (The). The tongue. In French, Le chiffon rouge; and balancer le chiffon means to prate.

I believe you’re right, anon. This was from the classic Christmas movie (the title escapes me at the moment). BTW,as a child, how many other things were there that would put your eye out?
January 5th, 2009 at 8:48 pm
J.J., the Red Dog was that the first one that came to mind. I wonder why? Maybe a Freudian thing.
January 6th, 2009 at 9:56 am
Things that mom said would put your eye out: sticks, rocks, and “don’t shove beans up your nose”. But, we’re getting off track.
