The word "till" is NOT an abbreviation of "until" even though they have the same meaning.

A fisher cat is not a cat.

Neither is a catfish. It is a fish, but it doesn't purr, either. Nor does a dogfish bark.

It was the first

That I heard
The word “sh*”

Free verse isn't verse... it's badly punctuated prose.

An un-knot, though, is, surprisingly enough.

If you want to make a name for yourself in a scantily explored field of maths, try knot theory. It's beyond me, but it does have a lot of open questions.
