. . . willing to throw in some fellatio - and be photographed with your cat, of course. The Member must have in mind something of this kind: |

Hmm. It sounds like an activity dangerously without precedent. Might want to make sure your insurance plan covers it first.
Good point. George, does your policy cover damages in the event of coinage?  Hmmm. Just checked. There's an exclusion clause for "Acts of God, natural disasters and reckless neologisms". I think I had better take legal advice before rushing into this. |

The Member must have in mind something of this kind:
We didn't necessarily before but we certainly do now...  George, I'd certainly be seeking advice whether constructing a new conjugation along established lines constitutes a neologism at all within the meaning of the Coinages Act (1797), let alone a reckless one.  |

I think you've rather lost sight of all indemnity here. Mayhaps we have not sufficient marmalade. Well I'm off anyway to scoff me some toast w/ marmalade. Well, will have to go to the shops first to get some. But THEN. |

Confusion arises in a tiny mind. If marmalade is the intransitive form, is the process marmalising? and if not, what does marmalising involve?
(I would also like the court to take under consideration a plea of completely ignoring any lessons formerly offered in grammar) sic!

You beat me to it, Kittybriton. I was just about to ask if the verb "marmalise", as in "I'll marmalise [destroy] yer!" is connected with marmalade, or if indeed it's connected with anything at all. It's Lancashire vernacular, I think, possibly of Irish origin.

If I may? Rob. 12:28 Marmalise not, for fear lest ye be marmalised, for he that marmaliseth (and that includes she in case thou listenest not at the back there) doth heap unto himself (as before) marmalisings and great wrath. Wot thou not that he that marmaliseth danceth upon oranges? yea, even the oranges of Seville. |

It's Lancashire vernacular, I think, possibly of Irish origin. That would certainly fit perfectly with 'Mick the Marmaliser', the Irish/Knotty Ash Diddy Man ("Oi'll marmalise you! Oi'll marmalise you, Oi will!").  |

There's Ravel's L'Enfant et les Sortileges in which the teapot (or tea cup?) in a pugnacious mood and singing in a sort of English threatens to "marmalade" someone.

Black, black and thick, and vrai beau gosse, and vrai beau gosse,
I boxe you, I boxe you, I marmalade you!
(I think he's actually threatening the child, although he promptly dances off stage with the teacup...)

It's 4.50am and I am troubled by thoughts:
Is it possible that marmalade is actually an outmoded form for which marmaload would be more current?
Her toast was marmaladen?
She marmaloaded another slice?
Am I hopelessly marmalost?
