After reading some great daffynitions the person I chose to continue the game is Sipnney �s happy bag: "A blatteroon is a kind of cake used in traditional celebrations on some of the Scottish islands and a couple of the English isles to the West. It �s a kind of sweet haggis made from oats, apple and honey. The origin of the word is debatable among linguists as to weather its introduction into the language comes from Scots Gaelic or Old Norse. As such, the Scots and English have battled over ownership of the word for centuries. Many now agree that the word is a combination of both language trees. The Old Norse word "blutder" meaning bag and the old Gaelic word "roon" means happiness."
You ever never hear of a word then suddenly you hear it everyhwere, haggis is that word for me right now.
So Spinney please continue our game by posting your new WOD. Ed |
