I'm chilvering in mi boots.
You'll be spitting out enamel pieces if you carry this insolence much further.
Must we drag this testosterone contest into the mild-mannered Balderdash thread? I am waiting for some more CHILVER before I retire to the geriatric ward.
On second thought, as the Americans so singularly say, I'm glad you're keeping this thread alive at all, even if you are just using it as a boxing ring.
I'm thankful you appreciate something I do Clary, I thought you and I were going to be at loggerheads eternally.
I don't think I'm at loggerheads with you except over lack of syllabic regulation on the haiku thread, and that, after all, is a tiny part of one's existence. Isn't it?
But a drop from a phial in the Pacific.xx
The word "chilver" is
Using six syllables in
Haiku, instead of five.
Come on Clary.This word is having a strange effect.Put them out of their misery willya?
I am glad you turned up Equus, this babbling fornicating farang will be harping on about some totally unknown 'word' he came across no doubt by sheer accident in a 1884 copy of Punch.
Its difficult to create sense where there is no feeling, the clown would no doubt be covered in bling if he knew what it was.

LOL! We certainly need that word.
I shall post what meagre offering chilver has turned up in the next phugh daze.
I'm chilvering here! Have you all got your def's in? Inquiring minds want to know!
One should have patience Rod.
Clary is a lady after all and it is our duty to await her convenience without champing at the bit or pawing the ground.
I think we're waiting for more def's. Sometimes it's slower, sometimes it's faster.
Can't keep you waiting till you drop off your perches - so here is CHILVER
1 a small figurine made of precious metal which ladies display about their person to provide a symbolic introduction to admirers
2 an infant lobster
3 a sweet young green onion, mild in flavour
4 mutton from a maiden sheep
5 a meat combination of pork and lamb
6 to make small insignificant changes to (a text); overedit
7 a spicy sausage from the Scottish borders
I'll go for the inedible stuff
Hate to be a copycat, but I think I'll go with #3 as well.
:wink:
