   Hi, Paul!  Recently you wrote in a message to Ardith Hinton:   
      
   AH>  According to Uncle Google, the idea that a "pregnant goldfish"   
   AH>  may be referred to as a "twit" is an urban legend from Australia.   
      
   PQ>  It's harkening back to the misty memory of long-gone youth.    
      
      
             Various people have reported they heard it in their youth & believed   
   it at the time...   
      
      
      
   PQ>  I did think, later, that it was a suggestive Monty Python line    
   PQ>  but cannot find any reference.   
      
      
             ... but now suspect it was meant to be a joke.  Uncle Google has yet   
   to find anyone who can recall where they first heard it.  OTOH, I wouldn't put   
   it past Monty Python.  Dallas & I often watched the show as well... [chuckle].   
      
      
      
   AH>  I cited THE FREE DICTIONARY in this case because it includes   
      
   PQ>  I did see that much later.  Nice try.  ;)   
      
      
             Thank you.  Another reason, of course, is that a bunch of rude words   
   in a single message might upset some folks.  If I advise reading a dictionary,   
   that's what English teachers do... and I didn't write the content myself.  :-Q
