What the **** are curcubits?
Crikey, you have to work fast here, most the easy ones are gone. *sobs*
Right, I'll just have a look at the others and see what I know
*adopts concentrating face*
Ahh Billy I did warn you to get in early.
RD I have no idea what cubits are either !
According to my dictionary a cur is a dog or untrustworthy person and a cubit is an ancient unit of measurement.
So that would make curcubits a unit of measurement which defines the size of a dog or of how much of a w*nker someone is?
So the conclusion reached is that a curcubit is a way of measuring someone's level of w*ankerness. I so hope that turns out to be the case.
You know these clues are difficult when you have to get your dictionary out to even understand them !
So thanks Billy for the info. I think you may be this blogs official dictionary corner from now on.
I will update the post later so you can see which one's Poe hasn't got ! (i don't think there are many, Poe's good at this game)
"So thanks Billy for the info. I think you may be this blogs official dictionary corner from now on"
