    Polyurethane of CAW!dor -- What Macbeth said as he honoured a crow
                               he mistook for a parrot
    Polish -- SHADDUP ya dumb bird!!

    polychaete -- last time I play gin rummy with YOU, Polly!!
    
    Polonaise -- Aah, deelicious, sliced Polly on toast with a dab of...
    
    pollywog -- a non-PC term for oriental pollys
    
    polygon -- After THAT much bird abuse, what would YOU do in her place??

    To take another run at two of them:
    
    Polymer - the parrot's French mother
    
    Politics - "tell me what you did with my watch, parrot!"
    
    and of course, to take your last one, there's always:
    
    "Polish it behind the door."...!

    polygamy -- Ya can't hang it so long in the smokehouse, what do you
                think it is, a pheasant?
    
    polyphonic -- She "grooves" by sticking the sharp end of her beak onto
                  records on the turntable

    on a definition, let me "steal a march" and essay --

    Polly Wally Doodle -- Stop scrawling graffiti on the wall, you
                          vandalistic birdie!!  (From a USA song -- 
                          "Well I went down south for to see my Sal, 
                          singing ... all the day,") (And since the 
                          second word is nonsense anyway, I stipulate 
                          it could be spelled with an A as well as
                          the original O. :-)
    
    polychrome -- I never really liked the original bonnet ornament on my
                  Rolls, anyway...
    
    polymorphous perverse -- My stupid bird sleeps all day & boogies all
                             night (_vide_ morpheus) (cf. psychology jargon)
    
    Polio -- bird's version of Cheerios, a breakfast cereal for humans in
             the USA
    
    polysyllable -- STOP swooping down and attacking my red pocket-hanky,
                    you misguided bird with delusions of grandeur!!
    
    ... and where Polly goes, other more predatory beasts are sure to be
    making a feline in that direction ...
    
    catalyst -- Now let's see, I need kittylitter, tinned tuna, and
                catnip...
    
    catalytic -- a psychiatric approach to the understanding and therapy of
                 the feline psyche
    
    catacomb -- Device for removing feline hairballs (usually constructed

    Catch it! - what the fickle crowd roars at the ball player both before
                and after the fumble.

    (FWIW - UK tradename for a PVA filler for cracks in walls, ceilings etc.)
    
    Nick

    G'day
    
    
     As an aside, these dogmas may cause catatonic shock and headaches -
    but there will be no aspirins - the paracetamol ('parrots eat em all' -
    for those that need the explanation)
    
    
    interpol - jet setting parrot
    catamaran - cat with cheese dressing

                only justification for posting this :-)
    
                ... can it be that we're tapping this particular lode out?
    
                BACK TO YOUR LEXICONS, ALL!!!   :-)
    
    Mrs. Pollifax: -- Polly goes hi-tech� for the '90s
                      (All I remember of this series of novels is that she
                      was the central character in some young-adult level
                      fun detective stories...)

    Monopoly - one legged parrot (with a pirate on his shoulder?)

    "No no, I really *DO* understand how to make the Parrot giggle --
                        I'm Politically Correct!"

    Remember my far-off cousin (who works as the County Prosecutor in
    far-off central Washington State) -- he whose previous opus was posted
    here in 788.46?
    
    I recently sent him an excerpt of this string and received the
    following...  
    
    "Picking up another theme in your orgy of philological phornication, I
    present the following:"
    
    Polititian -- Small red-feathered Renaissance painter
    
    Polynomial -- The state immediately preceding "Polly Hungry!!  Polly
                  Wanna Cracker!!"

    Polyandry -- what the lion calls the parrot who pulled the thorn out of
    his foot.

    OK Folks, here it be...  I couldn't keep it just between Brian Patman
    and myself...  What follows was recently received from my daughter
    Jodie, as advertised previously in 853.33.  Sorry for the rather
    extravagant length of this, but (a) computers don't have much of a
    sensayuma and they list out EVERYthing you ask 'em to, regardless of
    how potentially funny it is, and (b) Far be it from Yours Truly to edit
    this Sacred Corpus in any way...  And if you think it's long THIS way,
    you shoulda seen it before I line-wrapped it!
    
    And there's a companion file, much longer than this, in note 853.39 for
    the Abominable!s output.
    
    (Technical Note:  Each of the letter codes following each item
    designate it as being a Noun, Verb, Adjective, etc., and the following
    numbers indicate classes of expansion or conjugation, such that the
    lexicon from which these were drawn can be compact, yet encompass all
    possible legal tokens containing each of the roots.)
    
    ... Brian's had both of these for DAYS, one can only tremble in
    anticipation...
    
    ... Though, truth to tell, there's a bit of an "artificially
    inseminated" feeling (Brian's phrase) about seeing EVERY POSSIBLE token
    neatly laid out here, retrieved not by the heat of inspiration but by
    dry algorithm...  Still and all, though, one begins to skim through and
    think...?
    
    Enjoy, Dan Kalikow (for Jodie Kalikow :-)
