Hi,
Can some one help me with definition “diering” ? I try without success at several dictionaries.
I came across the word together with diering skills.
thanks.
Gerund form “dier(ing)” if gotten from “d’yer” of hybrid 70s reggae title D’yer Mak’r must then be somewhat lamely pronounced “jur(ing)” v. infra and so mean one hapenny’s worth thereof. . . [v. my complete post further down infra]
It could be ACB, but the typographical error is dithering skills - the attempt by a computer program to approximate a color from a mixture of other colors when the required color is not available.

The name of the song is derived from a play on the words ‘Jamaica’ and ‘Did you make her’, based on an old joke (‘My wife’s gone to the West Indies.’ ‘Jamaica?’ ‘No, she went of her own accord.’)”

Take special care not to heed that 1960s booty call sounding more like “coo coo curfew” which might just coax you under Lennon & McCartney’s lovesick walrus or, when caught in winter’s chilling grip, console yourself and say “I can’t wait to get over this. . . . Achoo!” Here pop music’s fabulous four take regressive behavior to its most subterranean dimension of misbegotten school-brats or very profane street urchins, clearly designating their cumbersome walrus sodden & oppressive allegory for Great Britain’s post-WWII working class, when teenage minstrels John Paul & George were just growing up and playing together in Liverpool’s downtrodden clubs then amid such violently rife, internal discord as raged between 1950s mod & rocker “polemarchs” but you knew that already! Yet that mysterious “eggman” just as related “I’m crying” also from this Beatles’ 1967 hit song “I Am the Walrus” could perhaps be yet another Lennonesque nonsequitur referring to compatriot rock great, Eric Burdon of the Animals, known for compulsive egg tossing and for his altogether scorching version of American folksong “The House of the Rising Sun” furiously set loose in helter-skelter 1964!
Jackson Browne cut loose his second, monster hit single “The Pretender” in sultry 1976 to vent satirical parody over such fatalistic obsessive-compulsive ethos as came to seize working-class America during the previous century, one helter-skelter period of widespread ambivalence that would eventually define his formative years to become a world-famous pop singer.
But otherwise attested “Oz” could well be a subtle allusion to that fabulous brainchild of very American children’s novelist L. Frank Baum 1856-1919 who magnanimously gave us so many, altogether imaginary stories about Toto-tottling Dorothy and the verdantly fantastic Emerald City. Thus one humble pulp-monger of worthless, nickel’n'dime fiction probably derived toponymic inspiration for said mythical realm from the nethermost O-Z drawer of his own, relatively meager file case.
