mc5 - AVMA Take 2

Yes, it's another round of that classic guessing game - Animal, Vegetable, Mineral, Abstract [or any combination thereof]. This effort - '03/'04 should address any queries, but then again, may just serve to confuse and baffle which some might say is the point of the game. Patience, integrity and a decent search engine may be useful ....

Tuj

Is the something that is not an animal at all an abstract noun?

[CdM] So what if there's more than one bee?

Tuj

Or rather, why is it just one bee? I suppose I'm just hoping someone round here happens to know a lot about the phrase...

Dujon

The Lion's share?

[Tuj] I've always thought it came from a colloquial bastardisation of business - in the sense of "he's the beeesneees" - meaning suited.

Dujon

Ingnore that post. It's part of an animal. Go back to sleep, Duj.

CdM

skin of teeth? No. Some applause from audience, though.
heart's desire? No.
heart of matter, foot of stairs, brains of operation; No, no, no. The + two words, remember.
third word abstract noun? Yes.
lion's share? No.
