Jargonelle

A jargonelle is yummy. It's an early ripening pear. What a large number of interesting entries this time. I'm impressed. I thought it might be a bit of a limiting word but not to the word imps of blogothea! Yaamyn and Dina Baxter tied as winners on today's shorter than usual poll. Well done both of you.

Body part of the Cra-pitibi.

The Cra-pitibi is a creature which evolved in the 1200s. During a meteor shower, the house of the scientist Tibibi, got hit. Most of his chemicals spilt out of their containers and mixed together. Under the extremely high temperatures and pressures produced from the impact, these chemicals joined together a creature made from the broken fragments of the scientist's home. The Cra-pitibi ate only iron metal and did not seem to require any form of liquid for survival. Metal consumed by these creatures were stored in their jargonelles, a part of their body created from a glass jar. When these jars were completely filled, they looked extremely beautiful and attractive. As a result, many Cra-pitibi were killed for their jargonelles, which served as ornaments in the homes of the rich.
Methods of reproduction were not recorded.

The Cra-pitibi eventually died out in the 1300s due to over hunting.

Jargonelle - pronounced YAR-GON-ELLA, is a semi-soft cheese coveted by pirates near the South of France. They would spread it ever so thinly on a cracker and savor the tangy bite. This could also be the origins of the phrase "Polly want a cracker?" Because who wouldn't want a cracker smeared the with creamy goodness of Jargonelle! YARRR!!!

Jargonelle was the name given to Medea in an early French adaptation of the story of Jason and the Argonauts. In nautical slang it has come to refer to a woman, often married, who has a long term affair with a sailor.

And each one's a Jargonelle"

Jargonelle is used to describe the vague and confusing terms used by smart men to answer potentially troublesome questions from jealous and inquisitive partners.
The most typical example of Jargonelle is the old "Gone Fishing" phrase.

Modern day Jargonelle is more evolved ("Important Business meeting","Working late nights", "Deadlines",etc.)
