Wash your mouth out, broe!
The true significance of today is that it is a year since I signed up to h2g2! 
It feels like a lifetime ago...

Batty, I never had you figured for a Thingite.
A gite is a dress or gown, so a thin-gite would be
a dress for a petite woman.
Anyway, Thursday has an aura of mystique and
ancient culture to it. What mystique has "Thing"
ever possessed? In Scandianvia,
it refers to a meeting of the legislature.

Anyone remember the Volkswagon "Thing"?

Oh, I suppose a thin-gite could be
a see-through dress. Would that make
you happier, Batty?
