P.S. Has anyone made a list of ignis fatuus variations? Jun 5, 2012
ruzuzu I just saw jib-o'-jib pass by on the recently viewed list.... Aug 30, 2010

mollusque Thanks, ruzuzu! It's been a long time since anything has turned up for this list. Aug 15, 2010
ruzuzu Okay... how's about hunk-o'-dee? Aug 12, 2010
ruzuzu Thanks! Rushes might be next, assuming there isn't already a list of them here somewhere. :-) Jun 5, 2010
mollusque Different listing styles I guess. I generally go for the shortest entry I can. Love your edgy sedge list by the way. Jun 5, 2010
ruzuzu Oh! That makes perfect sense, of course. Not sure what made me think you hadn't accounted for that already.
Um... I'm sure I've said it before, but you're awesome. Jun 5, 2010
mollusque Hi ruzuzu, I meant man-o'-war to encompass all three (ship, bird and jellyfish). Jun 5, 2010
ruzuzu man-o'-war bird Jun 4, 2010
reesetee Great list idea, mollusque! Mar 10, 2008
skipvia My pleasure. There are several thousand "o-matics" out there as well, but you probably don't want to go there.
I do love this list. "Will-o'-the-wisp" is such a beautifully evocative phrase. Mar 10, 2008
mollusque Thanks, skipvia! I am tempted to add Shaq, perhaps as a representative of the class, like I did with bowl-o-rama. He has one of those names that lends itself to linguistic invention. Mar 10, 2008
skipvia How about "peg o' my heart?" Mar 10, 2008
mollusque Thanks, c_b! There aren't as many of these phrases as I thought there'd be. Or maybe I haven't found an effective way to search for them. Mar 9, 2008
skipvia Shaquille O'Neal? (Just kidding, m...) Mar 9, 2008
chained_bear Cool list, mollusque! One that I like, though I don't hear it very often, is "world o' hurt," as in "If we don't get home by midnight, we'll be in a world o' hurt!" Mar 9, 2008
