Bears must hear differently.

Despite the fact that I agree with chained_bear, I have to give this round to bilby, on the grounds that he is awesome. :-)

Dear chained_bear,
We write to remind you that your six-monthly hearing of the word angel is now overdue. As we believe this may be a simple oversight on your behalf, we urge you to rectify the situation immediately. Astral beings are somewhat loathe to resort to Union action but we wish to underline our position that this option remains on the table. Or floating slightly above it.
Yours ethereally,
The Angel Recognition League

The boar's head in hand bear I
bedecked with bays and rosemary.
I pray you master, be merry
Quod estis in convivio

Caput apri defero
Reddens laudes domino

In 7 months' time you'll be hearing from my buddies at the Angel Recognition League. Be ready ;-)

Well, I think we hear the words "angel" and "cracker" throughout the year, in different contexts. My hope with this list was that I'd read it seven months from now and think "Yeah, that's definitely a word (or phrase) I haven't heard in seven months."

Wot, no angel? Me also members crackers/bonbons, those odd things that spew a pop, a paper hat, a useless plastic toy and a bad (usually) joke.

Figgy pudding. (Just what is that, anyway?..)

Thanks rolig! I have a couple of those already--or variations thereof--but I added a bunch of them. I was just thinking about the cattle lowing this morning and decided not to add it, but since apparently I'm not alone... Added!
