What is it? > I refer you to an authoritative source -- which also has no explanation for the origin of the term "codswallop". https://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/codswallop.html By the way, the Australian and New Zealand savoury delicacy is spelled "Vegemite". I have no idea what "vegimite" might be! As a point of historical interest, vegemite was originally called "pawill', to avoid confusion with the English savoury delicacy called "Marmite". But the name never caught on, and it was relabelled "vegemite". https://twistedhistory.net.au/tag/if-marmite-pawill/ Bruce -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
