As a staunch advocate of affirmative action programmes aimed at promoting gay marriage in the illegal immigrant community, it is my firm belief that if there were a God, which there isn't, not even Thor, then He would hate English concertinas because they are rubbish.

Enough of this thread drift. Please help me. I'm trying to remember a song my mother used to sing at potty-training time, something about a man with a hat and the words "doo dah" or, given the context, it might have been "poo poo".

\Frub"ish\, v. t. [See Furbish.] To rub up: to furbish. [Obs.]
Thus to rub, to polish up for reuse or sale. Frubish is stuff that is found (e.g. in a skip/dumpster) & resold!
Something I do nearly everyday!

"stuff that is found (e.g. in a skip/dumpster) & resold"

Much as Ralph Peer (or his heirs and assigns) found and resells a good deal of AFM repertoire.

rubbish
c.1400, from Anglo-Fr. rubouses (1392), of unknown origin. Apparently somehow related to rubble. The verb sense of "disparage, criticize harshly" is first attested 1953 in Australian and New Zealand slang.

Never thought of Oscar the Grouch as French.

Now when I was younger, a whole lot younger, my brother and I used to walk a quarter of a mile out our winding driveway to where the school bus would pick us up and deliver us to where we could be civilized. About halfway down the driveway was a winding stone bridge, built by giants with boulders, so my brother said, and underneath was where the trolls lived and lurked. Well, I never saw a sign of the trolls but I now have a very clear image of what a troll bridge looks like.

Cheerily,

Molly,

The "Fremont troll" ain't so bad, in fact he/she rather inanimate. It's probably been years since anyone's been et, except for a VW or two.

I saw a troll on the knoll,
Fie, man, fie;
I saw a troll on the knoll,
Who's the fool now?
I saw a troll on the knoll,
And he was looking oh so droll –
Thou has well drunken and who's the fool now?

So far nobody's proved anything, given what i count as evidence for anything, and I'm not going to give MY dictionary's definitions for the words in my post. So you've all misunderstood it.

Wonder what I can do for an encore.

oh I know, troll again later, when nobody's paying attention.

Round goes my wheel of torture,
With little mice inside;
I've found it's very funny,
To watch them as they died.
Of pieces there are plenty
I like them best on toast,
While I write my trolling posts

Trolling posts, (when I go)

After the "The Smacksman":

Coil away the troll warp, boys, let's heave in the troll;
When we get our troll on board we'll have another haul;
Straightway to the capstan and merrily heave her round,
That's the cry in the middle of the night: "Haul the troll, boys, haul!"

Maybe this parody will put a stopper on this thread:

So pull away for the final troll -
Sing haul away, my laddie-o,
It's an easy pull, for the catch is small -
Sing haul away, my laddie-o!
