Borogove

An extinct kind of parrot. They had no wings, beaks turned up, and made their nests under sundials; lived on veal.

A thin shabby-looking bird with its feathers sticking out all round β€” something like a live mop.

The first β€˜o’ in β€˜borogoves’ is pronounced like the β€˜o’ in β€˜worry’.

Jeebus dude, you look as mimsy as a borogove

borogove

Charles Dodgson's nonsense word, found in 'Jabberwocky'. Approximates to a 'copse' or 'glade' but with connotations of paludality or murkiness.

And the mome raths outgrabe"
