Thread Name: BS: what is a huff?
Subject: Leaving in a Huff.
A Mudcat member has just Left In A Huff.
What is a huff, anyway?
Years ago some wag riposted that
a huff was an antique car with wire wheels,
but I don't find anything to back that up.
Probably a leg-puller.
All I can think of is:
I'll Huff
and I'll Puff
and I'll
BLOW yer house down!
(Too bad. The one who just left in a huff
was capable of contributing interesting and informative
reminiscences about the Oireachtas in the time of Maire ni Scolai,
for example. I'll miss those.)
