In one of my favorite passages from P.G. Wodehouse, beautiful but vacant Veronica gazes at Tipton, the young American millionaire, "like a cow staring at a mangelwurzel on the other side of the fence." I paraphrase. |

It kind of clears up the meaning behind the expression - I didn't just fall off the turnip truck. I mean after all why not pumpkin truck? In a general sense it would make as much sense as turnip truck, except now with what you said, hmmm, puzzle solved? |

12 Sep 18 - 09:45 AM (#3949894) Subject: RE: wurzel bush folk club martin carthy From: leeneia No, a pumpkin is not the same. Turnips are stupider than pumpkins. The smell and the taste, for example. I grew turnips one year, then we didn't want to eat them. They taste like dirt. FYI, wurzel is German for root. Mangel means defect. ========== Sandman, how was the gig? |

True, but "mangelwurzel" is derived from the German Mangoldwurzel - "Mangold" on its own means Swiss chard. Nothing to do with Mangel/defect. |
