Magpie's Nest oddities

Thingummies and Hoosits.


















I stared at this thing for an hour or three
wondering what it is, what it could be.
Then out of the blue,
the answer came through.
“It’s a Wotsit, that’s what it is, plain as can be!”

Find more probable explanations at Magpie Tales where Tess spends all week dreaming up ways to flummox we lummoxes.
Dictionary: Lummox (E) = Dumb ox (US).

  1. ... and you can't imagine me wearing it? I'm crushed! Lummox is a word we used a lot when I was a wee lass ... as in 'you big lummox!' Hadn't heard it in years. Cheers, Stafford!

  14. This is a good one! I'm a fan of unusual words.

    I've been a little magpie-challenged lately. Still doing my nursery rhymes, though.
