Re: Victorian boink?

Mark Brader:
And I assumed Sara was going to Melbourne. "Victoria boink" would be
for BC. "Victorian" looks the way a British English speaker would get
it wrong. Sara has lived in four countries, it says; what were they?

Sara Lorimer:
The USA, Finland, Denmark, and Jamaica.

A-*ha*! :-)

I was being silly with my use of "Victorian"-- I imagined a boink being
held during the Industrial Revolution.

Oh! My apologies for missing the silliness.
