bilby commented on the word wait-a-bit thorn
"In the African bush there is a species know as wait-a-bit thorn. It is well named. Chip and Nair knew enough to avoid them while Stafford, trailing in the rear, did not. He found it was like being trapped in barbed wire and his temper suffered, as did his suit and his skin."
- 'Windfall', Desmond Bagley.
