whats in a name

[mokiturbo]

Has anyone managed 94 yet? I have found out that tinned dog was a slang term for tinned meat but still cant find any info regarding a persons name.

Don't get too excited - I haven't got it, but I thought I had!
Tinned Mutton is known as "Fanny Adams" after a girl who was brutally murdered in 1897.

That would have been ideal, but checking back, I see that your words are of lengths (7,4) - not (5,5).

If I can't go 50-50, I may be able to phone a friend!

I'll catch you later on this one!

Has anyone got 55, Australian weather god?

Well done citygrounder I couldn't find that one at all .

[crofter]

Echoes of Fanny Adams then citygrounder?
Well done! I'm not doing the quiz personally, but I'm sure this fills a gap for a lot of ABers.

Having seen "I'm a celeb in Oz", it could have been a "Dingo's Dongoes" or anything!

As promised here is the further background information to answer 94. Harriet Lane is the Merchant Navy term for canned meat. Harriet Lane was a prostitute dismembered in Sydney and is the Merchant Navy equivalent of the Navy's Fanny Adams.
Thanks once again citygrounder.
