Brolly Fun

So I learned a new, fun word today from the London Times: brolly. Leave it to the wacky Brits to express a mundane object, an umbrella, as a nonsensical sonant. Try saying, "The brazen British brawler brandishing a brolly brutally bruised his brethren," ten times fast. It's also basically what happened in England today.

According to the Times, a veterinarian lost it this afternoon and began ramming his car at high speeds into other vehicles. At one point his spinning tires spat fire and smoke as his car floundered in the pile-up he created on a roundabout. He then proceeded to climb onto the roof of his car and madly swing a stethoscope and brolly at fellow motorists and eventually the constables who came to haul him off.

You know how I've been mildly concerned about the bird flu which swept across Asia and is currently dropping swans on France? Now I'm terrified. Did this guy step up to the avian abyss and not look away?

Aaahhhhh!!!!!!
