Soo Funny as my long time nickname is Elmer Fudd. I do have a NOS Elmer Fudd patch that needs to get sewn on my club vest. I got tagged with Tacoma Bob on the old Ford Barn or perhaps Ahooga. One night in the chat room there were 5 Bob's on at once. LOL

Haha good one! I had to correct a classic car company once on that very thing when they advertised a trailer with a 'wench' and they didn't know the difference til I told them exactly what your pic implies....

But it could mean that their trailer came with a Wench to turn the manual Winch. That would make her a Winch Wench. I think the earlier trailers made before Halloween even had a Winch Witch as an accessory. But they only worked one day a year so it made sense to move up to a full time Wench.
You follow?

Funny stuff. Another word I see often on this board is "prolly". I wasn't sure if maybe that's modern internet shorthand that I've never heard of, so I never mentioned anything. But if it isn't, please note the word is "probably", not "prolly".

Will,

I've had Autocorrect substitute "prolly" for "probably" a number of times. If you're typing fast you can miss it before you post. If you use the "look up" function it takes you to Wiktionary which defines it as:

"(colloquial, slang) Probably. 'I should prolly keep my eyes on the road.'"

For a wench - maybe Pirates of the Caribbean

Not probably not prolly, it is definitely not prolly

ZZ,

You’ve been thinking of that wench with the tommy gun that pops up on Fordbarn every once in a while.

Ya. I think you are right David. I get so confused some days. Them wench's are all starting to look alike. Mark.
