Mutant man eating catfish?

[Gawdzilla Sama]

The thread title is so misleading
I thought it was going to be about a circus freak having dinner.

It should be Mutant Man-Eating Catfish.

Ease up there, big fella! Cali's new at this posting thing.

:throws dummy out the pram in a petulant way:

*has never seen a dummy being thrown out of a pram in any other fashion, although supposes it is theoretically possible to do so with great panache*

I actually wanted to use the word "soother" but thought my American friends may not get it. "Dummy" is understood over here because we watch American TV but no one uses it in real life.

As we use "pacifier" we'd have probably got it from context.

do you mean a mannequin? because if a soother is what I think it is, the American for it is "pacifier"...

then again, I may have completyely misunderstood you because you have been about as clear as a tablet full of linear A script.

Actually, it should read: Mutant, man-eating catfish? [/uber-pedant]

[Mung Bean]

Not necessarily. What if the catfish in question is eating a mutant man?

Some Americans call "pacifiers" "dummys".

Really? Never heard it in my life. I've heard pacifier or occasionally: binky, but never dummy. If someone says dummy you assume they are speaking about a mannequin or a stupid person

In Oz, it has always been a dummy. We have a phrase for someone losing it; "spitting the dummy"

Dumb = can't speak, thus Dummy = prevents baby making noise.

I thought they were called dummies too
