That marathon runners or just joggers? Sorry, I'm an apple that's got the pip, and besides, Juan misspelled my name. - Pfranz Top #92909 - 01/30/03 10:09 PM Re: Canadian English survey modestgoddess old hand Registered: 02/18/02 Posts: 833 Loc: Eastern Ontario, Canada 20 different kinds of banana I read that the domestic banana - the edible variety - is susceptible to the aforementioned fungus (black something-or-other). Wild bananas are naturally immune - but they also have honkin' big hard seeds that render them reproducible, but inedible. That's wot I read, anyway....

I think pisang raja (king bananas) have er.. honkin' big hard seeds but I don't remember seeing any in other types.

Top #92914 - 01/31/03 06:05 AM Re: honkin' big hard seeds Bean old hand Registered: 01/18/01 Posts: 1156 You don't use honkin' to mean big? I thought that was more or less universal slang. "Jaysus Murphy, that was a big honkin' truck that nearly smashed into us!!!!!!!" EDIT: Or honkin' big. And truck was a bad example because they actually honk. How about "honkin' big steak"? (or something like that) Top #92915 - 01/31/03 06:13 AM Re: Canadian English survey Faldage Carpal Tunnel Registered: 12/01/00 Posts: 13666 honkin' big hard seeds that render them reproducible, but inedible Hey!
