Hi, Paul!  Recently you wrote in a message to Ardith Hinton:

AH>  When I looked up "twit" in THE FREE DICTIONARY I found

PQ>  Down here, a 'Twit' was long=known as a "pregnant goldfish". 


          According to Uncle Google, the idea that a "pregnant goldfish" may
be referred to as a "twit" is an urban legend from Australia.

          I see you reversed the order.  Am I missing something?  :-)



PQ>  Is that dictionary a revised version of history by
PQ>  milennials or one compiled by ignorant new world-ers?  ;)


          I cited THE FREE DICTIONARY in this case because it includes
listings from various sources & because other people may be able to read it
online.  I'm happy with what the authors have to say about the issue.  In
addition, it saves me the effort of researching & retyping material from
umpteen hard copies.  :-Q
