This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Queen's dodger can mean

  • someone who lives with the queen
  • someone who performs crimes on behalf of the queen
  • someone who finds those called for the draft but have not registered on behalf of the queen

Which is it?

Surely a fruit filled biscuit is another possibility.

someone who lives with the queen

Surely that would be the Queen's lodger?

But in rhyming slang, you use the non-rhyming word (e.g. "china" = "china plate" = "mate")
