According to Wikipedia it means "shaggy beard", but there is no cited source, and other websites either equally don't cite a source, don't know, or, in one case, suggest it means "living rock". Michael Quinion (World Wide Words) has a page for the word, but he doesn't state a meaning for it, which I therefore take as "unknown".

I choose to think that it's meaning therefore is, "tastes good with chips" (in the same way that one source suggests that the "Weyba" in our nearby "Lake Weyba" means "place of flying squirrels").

Cheers,
Marc
Flying squirrels? Like this one? Awwwww......

Ooooops, I apologize!!! Did I say chocolate was evil?? No, no, no, misunderstanding, huuuuuuge misunderstanding! The language barrier, you know.... What I meant was that chocolate is the something even a weevil likes, yes, WEevil, not evil!! And weevils have good taste and are very intelligent animals.....

Hmmm.. OK, then, I'll recall my nuclear warheads I guess. But don't do this again, OK?

Now where did I put that emergency phone number for the ministry of war...

OK, you are forgiven.

Be careful about forgetting those extra letters.

You gave it to me, remember? But don't worry as I've already had them diverted... somewhere.

I just told the guy on the other end of the line to point at a few random spots on a globe. The way I figure there is a good 71% chance they'll hit water.

Yeah, but the odd thing is, we don't have "flying squirrels"; we have the marsupial sugar-gliders. But I'm not sure sugar-gliders are found around here.



The other suggestion mentioned in the same breath is "place of stingrays", which actually makes much more sense. There's plenty of them around (well, at least in the water there is ).

Cheers,
Marc
