Not a new word to me, but I recently observed ombre being used verbally in the wild.

I confess, I never thought of Clangers as psychotic.

though I can see how their obsessiveness can venture into that...what with things like only eating the Soup Dragon's soup.
Soup Dragons? Like the alternative band?
I've heard of a band named Bowling For Soup (as a passing reference in an episode of Phineas And Ferb, but not a band named Soup Dragons, sorry.

This is Bowling for Soup's most famous song, in case you were curious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrxI_euTX4A

As for the Soup Dragons, I have heard of them, but never actually heard their music, as far as I'm aware.

I played the Finnish version of Wordle game with difficult words. The word was "siepi". I googled and it seems to be a fish and 'Common dace' in English.

I've heard of dace before (the common dace is called batsha in Kankonian), but I didn't know the Finnish word for it.

Edit: And it seems I'm now the seventh-spammiest poster here.
