Sigh--I found out yesterday that there was a term I knew nothing about, and which explains several posts that I had formerly looked at in dumb non-comprehension. I was talking with a Brit-speaking friend about the wayzgoose site, and reading about the Morris dancing group (side, rather, there--I kept asking "the side of what?"). I commented that it must be a rather remarkable group, when I read that at a gathering some of the dancers were legless.
For this I received: 1.)outrageously prolonged laughter, and 2.) the information that that meant they were drunk. Gave me a whole new perspective, Max, on your post title "Mav's legless".
