"How so, Tone? Pray expound as to how the fact that he meant something within a specific context means that no other interpretation is permissible."

I've just written a song with the word 'Wipers' in it, reflecting the WW1 Tommy's pronunciation of the word 'Ypres'. Sleeve notes explain this.

If you came along in ignorance later and said it meant windscreen wipers or wet-wipes, you would be laughably wrong.

You are laughably wrong, and it would appear, pig-headedly stubborn about Cyril's meaning of 'Chicken on a Raft'.

Simples
