I can keep telling you that the answers are wrong but I'd like to know what question I've asked first. I am going to ask a question, and I am not giving way. But please, I'm a very old man and not as quick as I was as a boy.

Is it the physical manifestation of an emotion that has only been experienced deep in the subconscious of a minor character of a book that no one has read?

Not yet. But I'll bear it in mind.

Are you going to tease us with the definition of 'nyangy'? Because I am a bit stumped by it.

Surely everyone knows what nyangy means. It means it has nyang. You know.

Disclaimer: I have man-flu and have had lots of drugs and four "large*" whiskies. My guessing is not going to improve.

* "large" = "LARGE"

Of course not. Nyang. To me it suggests the nasty metallic acidity of rough LBV. It's almost onomatopoeic.

Nyang is defined as the sound that you make when you throw something small, nyangage being the small thrown thing.
