bilby Question for my baseballing friends, is the WordNET definition a portmanteau of batted single? May 28, 2008
frindley I just love the way the very sound of this word plays down in laconic Aussie fashion the seriousness of what it's describing. I've always associated it with an older generation - it's a word my parents, aunts and grandparents would have used but not my contemporaries. I think, however, it may be about to enjoy a comeback: saw today that a budget car insurance company has adopted it as a name: www.bingle.com.au. How endearing! May 27, 2008
