You know that one...Yellow bird, up high in banana tree...we could (optimistically?) change it to Yellow bird, up high in Hyundai league!

That shows real promise! Worth bringing out later in the season if all goes well. Just got to work out what else rhymes with 'League', then the rest takes care of itself...

Yah - I was racking the brain a bit as well - you did better than me. I cheated and googled one - the only one that wasn't a name was 'Feague' - funny as...

Feague (rhymes with league): To feague a horse; to put ginger up a horse�s fundament

One option - if we use a really really bad Aussie accent then 'big' would rhyme - beeeg!

MORE ON FEAGUE (rhymes with LEAGUE)

I looked into the definition a bit more and actually it gets better. That definition might even make it quite a plausible word to use...see why below....

To feague a horse; to put ginger up a horse�s fundament, and formerly, as it is said, a live eel, to make him lively and carry his tail well; it is said, a forfeit is incurred by any horse-dealer�s servant, who shall show a horse without first feaguing him. Feague is used, figuratively, for encouraging or spiriting one up.

Definition taken from The 1811 Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue, originally by Francis Grose.

Feague - encourage,uplift and enliven the spirit (courtesy of a well placed piece of ginger - or an eel!)

or we could just cut to the chase and tell the aussies where to stick any eels that they might happen to have in their kit bag

the Jet's players might not have any room, if they took our advice last time
