*Bump.*

I love Boro Nut, too. Where'd he go?

Point of order: "Wherefore" means "why" or "how come." It is the question counterpart to "therefore."

When Juliet asks "Wherefore art thou Romeo?" she is not wondering where he is located, but is bemoaning the fact that her true love has the unfortunate appellation of Montague. "Why did my lover have to be named Romeo?" But a rose by any other name would smell as sweet ...

Quite true, beastmaster. But that makes it an even more interesting question.

As to where he is, my guess would be a nunnery....

How about renaming the thread O Boro Nut, Where Art Thou?

RevDahlia · 06-12-2003, 05:41 PM

Yeah, doesn't "wherefore" mean "why"?

Boro Nut comes from Middlesborough (UK). AFAIK, the local football (= soccer) team are known colloquially as Boro. Therefore, s/he's indicating that s/he's an avid fan of said team.
