Oops! You mean as in The Cheyenne Tribe "The Cheyenne were an Algonquin woods tribe from Minnesota and Manitoba. The name "Cheyenne" came from the Lakota meaning "red talkers." The Cheyenne call themselves people who are related to each other, also known as the "Cut Arms" probably because of sun dance scars. "In the 17th century, they were centered in the valley of the Minnesota River. Then pressure from another Algonquin tribe forced them to Eastern North Dakota. They were hunters and fishers, the women gathered berries, and they lived in wigwams that they built from birch branches..." Umm. And here I thought the Algonquin were confined to the northern Adirondacks and environs. I stand corrected.

Musick, I remember back seven days ago when hogmaster wofahulicodoc stood for finer things than being corrected. He adjusted my definition to click on here rather than post my more heavy handed link ONPENPPO that I had hoped would reel in the more knee-jerk players among us. So instead of fooling the usual three slow minded automatons that play Hogwash and can usually be counted on for easy votes, I only suceeded in seducing 1 and 1/2 high moxie chicks. But the Hogmaster is right...Hogwash is a game of Honor. Speaking of the Hogmaster, after looking at all the definitions I picked the correct one immediatly. Wofalihaulidoc is the only Hogmaster I know who would dare pose a "ventriloquist monkey". Even now I don't know what is a "ventriloquist monkey".

Yes Joe, I know that the two images are the same.
I was referring to the name in purple that is known as the "link".
You see Joe, some among us might expect that by clicking on the letters ONAPPO they would get to see a picture of a ONAPPO.
Wofaliholidoc is a good man so he changed the clickable to... "picture here" so as to protect the slow-witted.

or, just possibly, to try to make it sound like a "real" dictionary definition and less like something constructed by an amateur, however talented...
But that's OK. Have it your way.

...and here I thought "retsina" was the active ingredient in an Italian breath mint... cf. "Retsyn"

P.S. Here's a dictionary entry that "explains" how the ventriloquist monkey got its name: Webster's 1913 Edition. Not very detailed, I fear.

I find it interesting that it was "so named for the nature of its cry", yet the consonants "P" and "N" are the most difficult for a ventriloquist to master. (along with their cousin sounds of "B" and "M", respectively)

Perhaps someone should have thrown in a fake definition of an organ grinder's dummy.
