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....

Chad Lebo said...: 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."

I don't know if that helps or not.; June 2, 2009 at 4:27 PM
LS said...: I just looked up the definition of a natterjack:
"a greyish-brown toad with reddish warty lumps "
Mr. Lebo, is that how you look like? :); June 3, 2009 at 8:28 AM
