Rowner - person who owns a done up rowing boat. Usually they are people who can't quite afford a yaught, but they can afford an accountant to help them not pay their taxes. So 'rowner' has also come to be a colloquial term for anyone who avoids paying tax.

It's a little known fact that Bo Peep was Scottish, and a sometime cross-dresser - passing herself off when the mood took her as her fictional brother Dale. She was thus attired when she lost her sheep and, hearing that they had been seen grazing by a nearby loch, went to find them. There, she encountered a Wild and Wise Woman who lived in a cave on the shore and, being most severely wild and wise, saw immediately through Bo's subterfuge and in a state of shock - these were indeed wild but unenlightened times - ran to the village crying 'Bo is Dale!' Such was the ensuing furore that the lock was henceforth known as Boisdale. As for Bo, she was never seen locally again. Some believe she moved to England where she built a new life as Little Boy Blue.

Whaley Bridge High above Addison Street, overlooking Chicago's Wrigley Field, is the Red Line's elevated train station, affectionately known as "Whaley Bridge." It is here that Cubs fans gather, awaiting transportation away from the site of their perennial disappointment, and cry as one: "Wait'll next year!"
