guano

I would imagine library holdings would be minimal on a tiny potato-shaped tropical island. I'd while away my time searching for seabeans and beautiful shells on the lovely beaches...

I collect sea beans, a.k.a. tropical drift fruits and seeds and have contributed a substantial curated collection to a natural history museum I was once associated with....

Yes, well, the library selection is a bit limited on Nauru.

"Guanoed her mind by reading French novels."
Benjamin Disraeli, 1st Earl of Beaconsfield (1804-1881), Sybil, bk. ii, ch.9

I think dingy was a freudian typo. The U.S.S. Guano is a sad, sad vessel. She's inflatable. She looks and handles like a large hot dog.

Heh :-)

I prefer dunghy, which is like a dinghy, but has a larger poopdeck.

Is dingy an American spelling of dinghy, is it a typo, or has a pun flown over my head? (The O.E.D. does list it as a known spelling of dinghy, along with dingee, dinghee and dingey.)

Edit: oh, now I see the list about misspellings...

This is the name of my dingy--the U.S.S. Guano.
