The WordPress Daily Prompt provides the theme of Droll. As a Dutch-born punster, this is just too much to resist!
There are a number of words in the English language that make Dutch boys guffaw with suppressed delight, as their homonyms in Dutch have a meaning that is not part of polite dinner conversation. It’s the perfect excuse to use a dirty word, as it’s a foreign language!
So when I saw the word Droll, the opportunity presented itself to post about its Dutch homonym, Drol; it’s certainly not among the worst words in the language, but nonetheless capable of evoking a snicker, as it means turd.
And, would you believe that exactly 4 years ago, I photographed this masterpiece?
This came about on a trip to Chincoteague, where we photographed the horses and much more!
On a historic note, horse manure did present some serious problems in terms of pollution, about which you can read up in The Great Horse Manure Crisis of 1894.
Have a wonderful day!
