We'll Rant and We'll Roar


Republic Flag


Right on, now give me a hand to rig up the rodney you randy old rag moll before I gets rotted and leaves you alone.

randy - 1)sexually aroused 2)a boisterous party

ravel {rhymes with gravel} - a loose thread

republic flag - old pink, white and green flag from 1843, recently revived and used as a symbolic gesture of discontent with the Canadian Government

Republic of Doyle - got to give a shout out to Newfoundland television (available on Netflix I might add)

rig - to outfit for a voyage or venture (also rig out or rig up)

rodney - a small rowboat with a sleek, round hull an small flat stern

rotted - angry

    Rotted is angry - I'll remember that for future real-life conversations!

    At first I thought it was a faded Irish flag. What's the dealie with that? Is it like the U.S. "Don't Tread On Me" flag?

    I've learned more new words from you since the A-Z started than I've learned in a life time. :) Thanks. I think I'll use the word rotted at myself if I don't get my bum off this computer chair and get on with the day.

    I think out of the ones you've done so far, this is the one I most needed translation for.
