sionnach commented on the word falkland islands
See las Malvinas.
But why will they nauseate you during your first trimester? This is very puzzling indeed, c_b.

Maybe it's from that site. Which, among impolite euphemisms for pregnancy, lists "Human turducken (if the fetus has a parasitic twin)".

sionnach, check out the site link in the header of my list description. But be careful: I nearly busted a gut laughing the first time I read the site.
The point is that just about anything will nauseate (most) women in the first trimester. "Falkland Islands" is about where I lost it and decided it needed to be a Wordie list. :)

What exactly does it mean to bust a gut? After you bust a gut, are you then down a gut, like a hockey team might be "down a man"? Must you then carry on with your remaining unbusted guts?
And what about when you bust a move, or bust a rhyme?
(Also: that site is hilarious, c_b. Thanks! :-) )

Maybe you're overthinking this, ptero. Sometimes a gut is just a gut. But that site is indeed priceless.

"Fleece the green on a blue and white comforter; scupper the pirates!"

That sheep is wearing way too much mascara. Which, given the remoteness of the Falkland Islands and the limited opportunities for social intercourse, troubles me.

What happens to tarted-up sheep. A cautionary tale.
oops! Someone came to a baaaad ending.
