Snicker-snack and vorpal blade :
Vorpal clearly reads as oral and verbal, now french
morphology admits a pun shaped like :
(lambda x : death to x)^4 = death by the oral blade to amoral morals.
It's found in the phrase :
"Mettons ainsi par la lame orale la morale amorale à mort".
A very interesting phrase, this. Feels to me like Lewis Carroll
heard it first. Does anyone know how much french he mastered ?
What's-the-morality-of-a-Bandersnatch-?-ly yours,
