Thread Name: Mr Beveridges Maggot - what's a maggot?
Subject: RE: Mr Beveridges Maggot - what's a maggot?
My unabridged dictionary gives two definitions of maggot which apply here. One is "a fantastic notion or caprice." The other is: Music: a composition of an impromptu nature."

Thus, "So-and-so's Maggot" would be a dance tune which So-and-so whipped out one day without much effort or editing. Ta da!
