She wants a male Australian wild dog. Foolish of her, but not so difficult. I do agree with him it's not a good idea making a pet of any wild creature.

The Mandingo, or Mandinko, or Mandinka, or other similar spellings are one of the largest tribal/ethnic groups in Africa. Nowadays they are almost totally muslim.
Mandingo is also a 1957 book set in the Anrebellum south authored by Kyle Onstott.
If I remember correctly he (the Mandingo slave, not Onstott) gets boiled up in a big pot for messing with the plantation owner's wife.
Of course, that was in a time before The Great Society made such interracial liasons the norm.
I caught that obtuse reference to Mandingo right way; it cracked me up. The underlying theme of the book was the perceived (by 20th century writers) threat felt by white men that their gentleman's sausage would be found wanting in comparison. So to appreciate this joke you have to not only know something of Mary's character in Downton, but Kyle Onstott's book as well.
I'm not kidding - I just split a gut!

I'm always amused by your quaint extensions of the language, but what the heck is a "mandingo?"
ReplyDeleteSorry I wasn't around to pose some probing questions about your iPad encounter. 'Not Gay enough.' Har, fist bump to Van.
I've been busy paddling Georgia. No really … it's even more fun than it sounds.

I'd spend a couple bucks to see a Mandingo on a mandolin.
ReplyDeleteYes you DO know the Mandingo I mean...and I don't mean the musical instrument.
