Sonnet

[Jimmy O'Connell]

Manna, a chailin,

I'm not certain of the derivation of the compliment thus bestowed.
"Whacking" and "lashing" I'm guessing have to do with rural occupations and practices.
For instance, when we, in this fair island, want to encourage a person into doing something risky or doing something for the sheer hell of it we say, "Ah, sure, give it a lash there, and see what happens!!"

Now, "whacking", according to my iterpretation, is a term used in the process of separating the seed, wheat, from the chaff, using a flail, or a class of a stick. So, giving something a fair "whacking" is an acknowledgement of ones skill in the performing of a most necessary exercise, which of course, is a most necessary process in the making of bread and the feeding of man/woman, and, of course, child...

Are ya with me here?

So... I'm not saying anything other than what I mean above. Any other interpretation would be deemed a re-write, which, as we have already established, is not acceptable on this or any other thread. For we have learnt to tread lightly... we whack very carefully around here...

specifically, no. that it may be a crude American slang term involving intimate coupling, I can now guess.

that, if true, will not deter me from relying on its attractive Cockney meaning of "precisely, old chap. Bang on".
