Recital-cummerbund


One learns something new every day! I thought that Cummerbund was a typo. I always understood the word to be Cumberbund!
Imagine my surprise when I googled it!
Just shows how regional differences can often be overlooked.

Then there's an actor by the name of Cumberbatch - I don't dare pronounce his name, it always comes out as cummerbund.

Cumberbund would be a great name for a character in a story. The name of a sleuth, perhaps.

Are you referring to Cornelius Cumberbund, the well-known Goblin detective of the 'Otherworld' Series?

Yes, because it was mistakenly inserted in a cummerbund which did not result in a happy sartorial result.

None of which would have been discovered had it not been for the hard detective work of Cornelius Cumberbund!

Quite so, except the Goblin Chronicles, a newspaper of note, fail to relate a few salient facts in the case - namely, Messire Cumberbund was found wearing just such a cummerbund, and was alerted to the oddity of the situation by the fact that it kept slipping sideways and down. The godets, of course, left the article fluted at the lower edge and hence too ill fitting and loose to stay in place.
It also looked downright silly.

Cornelius, of course, decided that he would never wear such a seriously flawed piece of attire again. It transpired that he was paid handsomely by the fairies who made it to keep his mouth firmly closed. However, being the typical goblin he was, that proved beyond his capabilities!

Disreputable fairies, silence money, blabbing goblins, and then Kernel Nellie lied. Things were seriously getting out of hand!

Lied-gerund

True story - a friend had an uncle everyone called Uncle Eggder, except she called him Uncle Edgar, as his name was spelled.

What that has to do with anything I don't know but there you go.

Wait, yes, edger, that's the link. Whew!

Unfortunately for Kernel Nellie, because he lied, the fairies turned on him. The papers were filled with tales about his misdeeds and so, because of that, he immediately went to (ground)

Gerund-erupting mistrust!


Who cares what your snippet has to do with anything. It was a fun fact and that is all that matters.

Sad to say, Gypsy, no, not much. I am wondering if I have possibly cracked a rib. Coughing is agony!
