"Disgruntle" always made me think it was caused by severe constipation.

May you get a flattie in the middle of an anglers' convention.

May all your sheep turn carnivorous.

...said Cap, modestly.

Not even a little bigmany?
(reminded of an excellent Dustin Hoffman film)


I just learned something! "Bigamy" means two marriages rather than two wives. For some reason I'd thought everything with a "gam(y)-" in (gamete is another one) related to females, perhaps confusing with "gyn-".
D'oh.

I'm not quite sure what CK meant by "bigmany" - perhaps the bravery of Sheiks of Araby?

It seems sexist - why can't we have "bigpersony". Or big, per Sony.

my personal favourite today, 'may your wife have a flat and featureless forehead', deadly klingon insult.

"May Captain Kirk lose all his hair and make an appalling album of spoken songs"

Hey, it worked!
