Cleveland Demagogue? ...or Cincinnati? Or wait...is it CrocoDile?
"CD" reminds me of such a great essay that a middle school student wrote when my dearest ex-wife taught in inner city Philadelphia. It was absolutely randomly brilliant since I can't believe he did it by design. In that story, after misspelling crocodile a few times, he started to abbreviate it "cd". The punch line at the end of the story is "nevr trush a greedy cd" which means "never trust a greedy crocodile" since the croc violated trust in the story and ate the other character, a tortoise. The title of the essay was "The Toolish and the Crackdart" ...which are brilliant misspellings of "the tortoise and the crocodile". I hope that kid went on to a successful writing career.
