I'm probably too out of shape to engage in playful banter whilst climbing a solitary mountain.

You knew both of those og? I'm scared of you.Score tally:Travelling Ed Teja: 2 for "tub-thumper" and "Stakhanovite". 2 bonus points for elaborating on the meanings of both. 4 total.Hummingbird: 1 for "scrabble".Og: 2 for "badinage" and "monadnock".Nomi: 2 for "kick up a shindy" and "go at it nineteen to the dozen".OK... I'll go again since no one else volunteered.Stop that rataplan echolocation!!!!!!!!!!

Okay echolocation is how bats (and sometimes members of the whale family) find their way to the corner record store to buy our CDs. I don't have a clue how rats plan however. Maybe Hummingbird or Old Goat knows.

I know a few of those. Tub-thumper!There was a hit song in the UK called Tubthumping. I think it even made number one.'Nineteen to the dozen' is a phrase i've used quite a bit. It's very well known here.I hear that they don't use the word 'Fortnight' in the U.S. is that correct. For those who don't know. It means 'Two weeks'.
