What is Dabchick-and-grebe?
1.
A serious romance, or CORMORANTIC liaison, between two ladies and GREBES of greatly differing sizes.
(The DABCHICK is a SMALL Grebe.)
Among members attending the annual conference of the British Association of Lesbian Musicians (BALM) in Bournemouth last month, there were many examples of DABCHICK-AND-GREBE partnerships.
Each petite, dainty violinist seemed to be accompanied by a massively-built double-bass player. Indeed, a chick-and-mother-hen pairing seemed to be the norm. Every mature Donalda Duck delegate waddled hand-in-hand with a much smaller, often younger, "niece".
Journalists covering the conference indulged in much ribald speculation as to how these physical mismatches would be resolved in the boudoir. ("How does a dabchick mate with a grebe? With great difficulty.")
Very few unattached singles were in evidence; so anyone hoping for a casual CLAMSTER or UK during the weekend was, presumably, disappointed.
