Ginger Meggs by Jason Chatfield for February 02, 2011

I’m missing something in the graffiti……………..

That’s about the way it’s done, Ginger!

Good Morning Meggsie Fans!

Is this right: Dreamr is the only English word that ends in the letters Mr.

Well that is how I read it.

So then Dreamr must mean dreamer…….right!

Graffiti … that is true. Had to look that one up. Dreamt and all variations thereof, are the only words in the English language ending in the letters MT.

So it’s dreamt then……Cool! :-)

Thank you for the clarification, Redhead55.

G’day Jason, JFri, Usfellers, ottod and Meggsiefan!

Yes, and nothing rhymes with “orange”.

I tried to think of another, but I kept coming up MT.

G’day Jason, Dry, JFri, Ottod, Meggsiefan, Frank, Bjorn and all Meggsie’s mates mates.

Good one Ginge! Of course, it makes sense - ‘speed’ is not the opposite of ‘slow’, so therefore ‘speeding up’ should not be the opposite of ‘slowing down’, it should be ‘fasting up’.

Which, although totally out of context, reminds me that a felon who is escaping from jail is an escaper, the jail is the escapee.

English as she is spoke.

Beenthere41: With a bit of licence, orange and doorhinge can be made to work, just like silver and pilfer are fairly close, especially if you get caught with your hand in the boss’s cash register.

The need for Readhead55’s qualification “and all variations thereof” negates the grafitto’s claim on the face of it. (My Amer. Herit. Dict. of the Eng. Lang. 4th Ed. pattern search yielded dreamt and undreamt.) But I wouldn’t try to hold anyone to it in a bar bet.

No amt. of money would help me undream a dream. By the same token, would any advice from my padre amt. to any good?

syringe rhymes with orange (at least with an Australian accent, (and this comic is definitely Australian)).
