Is that a hippo that uses long words?
No, it's a sesquipedalian autological autonym. :hehe:
??? Really? I thought that it was a giant 75-footed carnivorous aquatic horse?
Shhhh don't mention aquatic horses!

Someone is agitating the guard hippo at the TinD. 😉

How do you know this word, Mike? AFAIK it's the obscure Cornish word for a large slug!

The word actually derived from and American Indian work meaning "Big Chief" (I did not know this). Came into American usage in 19th century as a boss or bigwig (kinda like a giant slug :laugh:) (I did not know this either). Later was term for republicans who backed democrat Grover Cleveland for president (I did know that). Also denotes a politicain who refuses to take a stand (sits on a fence with his mug on one side and his wump on the other)(most politicians are also giant slugs). Was also the name of a folk group that preceded the Lovin' Spoonful (knew that too).

Looks familiar, I did the same Google search. "sits on a fence with his mug on one side and his wump on the other" was familiar, but no mention of Cornish slugs - guess that was a family legend thing.

Jessica the hippo's favourite food was sweet potatoes - forwarned is forearmed 😉

Wonder if they would work in Jeff's porkchop slinger?

This is a great forum. Always something either entertaining or educational, sometimes both.

Here's some trivia: Two of The Mamas and the Papas (I think John and Michelle) were The Mugwumps before they became The Mamas and the Papas.
