Default Wasps in the greenhouse


I thought it was wobbles... not boggles.

Mick


Hey Mick, wobbles means teeters or sways (weebles wobble)

boggles means confuses

You were probably wobbling and the mosquito got boggled.

The context in which I used the word "boggles" was "to be overcome with
fright or astonishment" - take your pick!

John,

I have a bogg in the backyard... actually I have 5 of them. I always tell
my friends that I grow orchids on the boggles. Boggles is the plural of
bogg.

That's a lot of outhouses, "bog" also being a euphemism for the shack
out back.

J,

I have never heard of that euphemism... so please don't bog me down. I need
to stay focused on the main topic in this thread.
