Geli Tripping

[LARSSON at VAX1.Mankato.MSUS.EDU]

Tom Stanton notes:
"I've heard that "Geli," which I would pronounce like "Jelly,"
is actualy pronounced "Gaily", so it's a play on words..."


Like "Pirate Prentice," this is a steal from Gilbert and Sullivan, in this
case, HMS PINAFORE.  When the Female Relations of the First Lord of 
the Admiralty come aboard, they sing:
		Gaily tripping
		Lightly skipping,
		Flock the maidens to the shipping


But, of course, "tripping" has some other connotations as well!
