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

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

PQ>  It's harkening back to the misty memory of long-gone youth. 


          Various people have reported they heard it in their youth & believed
it at the time...



PQ>  I did think, later, that it was a suggestive Monty Python line 
PQ>  but cannot find any reference.


          ... but now suspect it was meant to be a joke.  Uncle Google has yet
to find anyone who can recall where they first heard it.  OTOH, I wouldn't put
it past Monty Python.  Dallas & I often watched the show as well... [chuckle].



AH>  I cited THE FREE DICTIONARY in this case because it includes

PQ>  I did see that much later.  Nice try.  ;)


          Thank you.  Another reason, of course, is that a bunch of rude words
in a single message might upset some folks.  If I advise reading a dictionary,
that's what English teachers do... and I didn't write the content myself.  :-Q
