This is super fun. Thank you! I want to bring back smatchet and grumbletonian very much. I shared this post in my weekly roundup of links at Strong Sense of Place. I hope it sends some new subscribers your way! https://strongsenseofplace.com/endnotes/2023/04/07/easter-peeps-and-more-endnotes-07april2023/
