How about some word fun

[spikesgirl58]

We haven't done one of these in a long time.

Any idea what an Anglewitch is?

How about a Camorra?

Or a Holaogue?

Remember, no Googling and if you do know the mean, shhhh for a little while and let 'em sweat!

I'll post the answers tomorrow.

Anglewitch - I feel like I should know Anglewitch because that's such a bloody anglo-saxon word if ever I saw one. Angle is anglo-saxon for bendy hooky thing and "witch" places are usually lowland east reedy marshy places on the Angle land with water and reed boats. Water angle thing, it sounds water-hobbit like, or more like gollum hobbit like.

Camorra - the way posh people say camera?

Holaogue - greek whole, complete record thingy.

Those are great guesses and you are very close with the first one.

Camorra - Calabrian for "wussies we gonna wipe out"

Holaogue - New Age hoagie?

Also, slang for a bookie.

2) The adoration of sport cars, specifically Chevrolets.

3) Term for a type of hostel in Spain.

Anglewitch sounds like angler, which might mean it's something fishing-oriented. Like a clever lure that draws fish as if by witchcraft?

I'm pretty sure the Camorra is some kind of Mafia-like cabal.

Holaogue? A person who studies how Spaniards say hello?
