Hi Bob and all,
Yup, you did mention Blunderbus came from the Dutch and somebody else
elaborated, the name is a mispronunciation. Spelling naturally suffers
too, an example is the NYC neighborhood of Harlem from the city in
Holland spelled Haarlem. On face value the single A would make it
"hairlem" but that's American for you. (;->)
Thunder box is an appropriate name for a portable toilet, I don't know
what the Yanks called them or even if they were GI... hmmm.
No Bob, I have nothing against teachers. Don't mind me, that's just
another frog. Oh... <bork>
