Ron J. is presently dating (pursuing) an Oakville single mom (Ms. Barber) and it seems they will marry in the near future. The interesting timbit is that Ms. Barber is taking him for what he is worth and later has plans to dump (with cash settlement) him for her greek lover in Greece.

I don't know a Ron J. or a Ms. Barber so either Karol mistook me for someone else or (more likely) Karol is trying to introduce and spread the use of the word timbit as taking the place of tidbit (and if you don't know what a timbit is, well, then you aren't Canadian).

Unfortunately, use of a new word in Rain Barrel does not justify inclusion of that word in the Oxford English Dictionary.  If it did, I would promptly introduce this word sadly missing from the English vocabulary: 

gretzky (noun) = a class act
example: Al Waxman will be remembered as a real gretzky.

(anyone who watched the Great One's retirement last year could not fail to notice how each and every hockey player and fan called him a class act)

Professors and madmen (and in England, surgeons of Crowthorne) contribute to the OED) - why not you?

I mean, they *want* you to. The OED have sent out an appeal for your help to track down the origins of such words and phrases as D'oh, full monty, moose milk, organized religion, get real! and mission statement. 

Feel free to use all the tools at your disposal - and your library's disposal, like JSTOR. And while you're there, see if your library gets its ebooks from netLibrary.  netLibrary makes use of the American Heritage Dictionary which includes over 70,000 audio word pronunciations: a great tool for folks like me who read more than they speak.
