Well, who but can agree with the first of these?! Tyburn and all that ….
Are the first and third items related? Never knew presbyterianism was so exciting! 😉
Here is another good one just added today – “Female Hobgoblins”.
We have female hobgoblins in the Scottish Episcopal Church, don’t we?
Ooh, are they called hobgoblets, or would that just be confusing? 😉
That’s a nice idea, Ryan, but I think hobgoblets is always going to be seen as a diminutive and that’s not really very PC these days.
I believe that the term you may be looking for is hobgoblix.
Surely that works better as a plural? i.e. “the hobgoblet sashayed up the aisle” and “the procession of hobgoblix was most impressive and a fine time was had by all” etc
No Ryan, Hobgoblices, I think is the plural.
Yes, I think it must be hobgoblices. I suspect the delicious form of hobgoblix is only nominative, and vocative. Hobgoblices in surplices.
Are you referring to the front row of the Choir?
I think we will presume that no particular individual members of the faithful are being referred to in this conversation.
I think it is worth noting that we have discussed matters pertaining to hobgoblins before. When I started this blog, I had no intention to become the leading Anglican site for hobgoblinalia, but so be it. Needs must. That is the way of vocation.
Foul fiends not getting a mention? This is discrimination!
Before anyone asks, I think we’ll conclude that no individual members of the faithful are being referred to when we speak of foul fiends too.
Especially the back row of the choir.
