GUEST,weerover | Origins: Just what is a Cutty Wren? (40) | RE: Origins: Just what is a Cutty Wren? | 06 Jan 04 |
"Cutty" is a scots word which means small. As the wren is a tiny bird in any case, this may be a tautology: not entirely sure, but I've generally considered that a tautology is accidental and unconscious, when deliberate and conscious it becomes a pleonasm. Any enlightenment? |
