A Pun On Aber / S ?

[clivebeca]

As I'm new to AnswerBank; I see that users appear to call themselves: ABer or ABer's. Interesting as in Welsh, Aber is 'Mouth of the River'. The pun here is on the word Mouth. Just a thought!

[Tilly2]

What's the welsh word for estuary?

I'm not sure "ABusers" would go down too well.
welcome, anyway!

[factor-fiction]

I'm sorry but you'll have to explain the pun to me.

[Tilly2]

I think clivebeca means we are a mouthy lot, factor.

[clivebeca]

An Estuary is the Mouth of a River, therefore ABER is an Estuary ... Simples!!

[boxtops]

I still don't get the pun :-(

[DaisyNonna]

AS long as you do not use Estuary English you are welcome.

Good thought, daisy!

[Mamyalynne]

I am a bit mouthy.

[DaisyNonna]

Ever thought of yourself as an aberration?

[Mamyalynne]

No

[DaisyNonna]

Not you mamya! crawls away in embarrassment

There is of course a very apt anagram of "Answerbank" which might apply to the sanctions imposed on its less scrupulous members :-)

[ferlew]

Chuckle.... lovely anagram ichkeria :)

[Tilly2]

It doesn't work on the anagram solver but I managed to work it out myself.
Ooer!
