my sincerest contrafibularities on hitting the tonne, and what a wonderfully helpful way to mark the occasion. Thank you very much for those excellent resources.

You're too harsh - if they haven't the scents it is probably because the haven't the Thyme.

My pleasure.
contrafibularities
This is a new word to me! Why should you wish to set anything against my shin bone?

contrafibularities - - - the lawyers term for "withershinsExcellent! Would it also equate to the swashbuckling pirate's phrase. "Shiver me timbers." (thinking of John Silver's wooden leg). BTW, any idea as to what a "swash" is, and where one would buckle it?

Well, guru gives this for swash:
Swagger or bluster. A swaggering or blustering person
So I guess you place your buckle ostentatiously!

Do either mingit or mingin relate to mingy?
The idea of mean and stingy sounds reasonable for mingy.
Mingin' has a hard "g" like singing so I've never thought of it as being realted to stingy with its soft "g".

>contrafibularities
This could be something to do with pulling the other leg so Long John Silver maybe on the right track.
