Into the bath-tub go
When I must write my letters. Why?

Have you ever seen the gentleman with the Niagara-Falls moustache? Pretty woggy, what? When beautiful Bessie drinks buttermilk and forgets her napkin, what can you say? Such things must not be told.

There is a wog of ragged braid on the bottom of your torn skirt, a running wog in your silk stocking. (See Splooch.)
Don’t get wogged! (See Zobzib.)
