echusera is not an English word.

For the others, try yourdictionary.com.

Which was the source of “Dick"Tracy comics decades ago.
Echusera must have something to do with echoes, or maybe echinacea, or que sera sera???

Or Hebrew or Latin or whatever. 

Weren’t gizzards mentioned in the Nicene Creed?

Don’t remember it no more: don’t belong to no religion that uses these creed thingies. I’m sure you can Wiki Nicene and find out, however.  You’ll need some creed at the baptism of Miriam at age
92 or whenever yu all baptize in your lukewarm puddles and bathtubs.

Nicene Creed

I’ve read it. The butler did it.

Miriam will be dunked when Miriam decides to me dunked. Baptists don’t have a set age limit, partly because of our inability to cipher.

Never understood that one, either. Red blood. White robes. Is there something blue we could throw in for good measure>

Or green if you live in Mexico, Iran, Hungary, Italy.  I’m not too red/white/and bluish: overdone, flag and all that.

Lots of flags in the 60’s got overdone, along with bras and draft cards.
