Stamp of the Day: Toad
There has been a lot of talk about frogs here, but who cares about the toads? I would like to know what a natterjack is....
When I was last in Scotland, I told some fellow pub-goers a joke about a sheep, a set of bagpipes and an Irish farmhand. Some chap in the corner seemed to take offense. If not mistaken, he brazenly insulted my mother, my grandmother, my great grandmother and a great aunt thrice removed that I didn't even know I had. He then added, "You sir are a twittering natterjack."
Haha, nice sign!

ReplyDeleteI don't know if that helps or not.
I just looked up the definition of a natterjack:
ReplyDelete"a greyish-brown toad with reddish warty lumps "
Mr. Lebo, is that how you look like? :)
