Some time ago, I wrote: 23 Aug 2011, 18:29 Last week someone working on a crossword asked me about the spelling of the word vim.

More recently, I saw the following clue for a cryptic crossword:

Done messing with gun: prison the result (7)

The answer was dungeon.

The Word Watch quiz in today's Times asks whether the definition of Pooka is:

a. Excellent
b. A smoking apparatus
c. A sprite or hobgoblin

I'm trying not to imagine one saying, "I'm excellent! I'll tell you about my smoking apparatus!"
