It's a fair cop, guvnor, you got me bang to rights.
I'll come quietly.
It should have, in fact, read 'amphibiOUS'. :-)

I realised that, but blame the company I keep: life over on
alt.usage.english makes a man kinda mean!

And life (but not as we know it, Jim) in the Shed molishes a man kinda
mean to anyone from alt.usage.english........

That thar's fightin' talk, stranger!

Doan tie no it. And don't call me stranger unless you can qualify it
with a campari, son.

Bacup cauldron and flow-up set.

OK, you have the Campari, and I'll deal with Ron and Flo. (Actually, I
know it's not a very butch thing to admit, but I think Campari's
delicious. Why don't they make an amber-coloured version?)

Mike.
