Thanks Ratty, it was seeing your answer that gave me a clue, and a giggle. =D If camels are the ships of the desert would an 18 humped giant camel be a desert cruise liner?
Is 1. a trick question? I could give a VERY literal answer. The third word of ""The English Language"" is ""language"" and we do use that (almost) every day.
Ratty, No.1 is not a trick question and no 'that' is not the answer. Good thinking though and I loved the giant camel idea.
Is 1 lethargy?
Not lethargy. Sorry gamba.
