This has been a question on my head for about two years. I asked all of my teachers and they aren't sure. If the plural form of 'cactus' is 'cacti' and the plural form of 'octopus' is 'octupi', then shouldn't the plural form for 'walrus' be 'walri?'

If the plural form is 'walruses' why doesn't it work on the previous two words mentioned above? All of the words have consonants before the 'us' part, should anyone look at that.

In simple terms it means 'an over complicated piece of machinery.' Named after the cartoonist.

I'm using the phrase in an email to an American colleague and just wanted to know if he'd understand what I meant.

(I've been to the US but never found myself using this phrase there before!)

Am repeating this because I think I put it in the wrong place before.

Is this in any way offensive?
I sung it as a child and I am not a racist. Kids are now made to sing 'white sheep'. Well excuse me, isn't THAT offensive too then?

I mean - what kind of 'day' could that possibly mean.. ?

Isn't one day pretty much like the next when you're a dog.. certainly they have no benchmark for pinnacle of success, as implied in the expression..
