No, no! The Severn is the river that meets Chesspeake Bay at Annapolis, Maryland. The United States Naval Academy is located "where the Severn meets the tide."

So even though it might be the right answer, it's the wrong question. It should be "American river". (Check with Severn if you doubt me.)

Mr Red is certainly the colour co-ordinated one. He's dead easy to spot unless he's hiding in a box of tomatoes.

Geoff the Duck is possibly the least colour co-ordinated person I know. He's colourful, but not co-ordinated.

Redsnapper, didn't you read the rules that I the ruler made?

The rule is "The poster must not put his or her name or initials at the end of his or her post."

If the poster's name or initials are written below his or her question than readers may confuse that with the answer to the question he or she is giving.

Now, is that clear?

Thanks Les. I think those large containers are called trash 'bins' in the USA, but I'm not sure.

And- it just occurred to me-is that what folks meant when they sang "Skip to my Lou"?

Naw. Words can have more than one meaning. I figure in that song someone was telling someone else to skip to a girl [or a boy?] name Lou...

So enough of bins, and garbage pails and trash cans.. what is the correct response to that non-motorized form of transportation name?

Azizi, I believe "skip" in the UK is equivalent to "dumpster" in the US.

By the way, and totally off-topic, the term "dumpster" in the US is one of those cases where a trade-name has been adopted generically. One of the pioneers in large-container refuse systems was named Dempster, and he called his company "Dempster Dumpster".

I thought 'Skipy' was a play on the word "skipping".
So I guess that answer isn't correct.

Off topic again.

It seems to me that Rapaire's 25 Jun 06 - 12:18 AM post and Elmer's 25 Jun 06 - 12:44 AM post concur with the definitions that I shared from the urban dictionary website [with the exception that those definitions emphasized the 'concealed' nature of the guns].

As to the other definitions that I didn't share, I can't say one way or the other if Rapaire and/or Elmer would agree with them.

But it aint my bizness to know.

Off topic, but it seems that in Black communities, 'packing heat' refers to having a concealed weapon {usually a handgun}. See these excerpts from http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=packing+heat

The numbers appearing with definition refer to site visitors' up or down ratings of the definitions other visitors have sent in of the featured slang terms.

1.packing heat 32 up, 3 down

Having a concealed firearm for protection or to carry out violence.

"Don't come to Brick City, unless yo' packing heat."


2. packing heat 19 up, 1 down

To carry a firearm. Usually refers to the act of carrying a handgun.

Not many people know it, but sweet little old lady Smith is always packing heat.

3. packing heat 4 up, 2 down

A term referring to carrying a weapon with you. A small example is a concealed weapon, but a better one would be being heavily-armed with a machinegun.

"Daniel Pearl should've been packing heat over there. Damn customs."

-snip-

Some of the other definitions go into a whole 'nuther sexualized meaning, but I know no one here would be interested in that.
