boggart

Slanticular? Excellent.

Thanks, mollusque - no worries about quiz number 4, which was probably a little too long and obscure in places. I hope to have a quiz 5 in the not-too-distant future.

Okay then, I'll encourage you: Sorry I was snarky on Quiz Time 4. I hope you'll run more quizzes; they were fun (until I blew a gasket from too much unrequited slanticular thinking).

The *last* thing you want to do is encourage me. Tee-hee.

Cut it out, sionnach. I've exceeded my daily allowance of laughing my ass off.

yarb makes an understandable error, but what this term really refers to is peat sculpture

boggart

A sort of goblin creature, I think. Looking at the lists this word appears in, it seems that boggarts feature in the Harry Potter novels.
