Theme #10: Engorgio
This is NOT a Mnemonic



It was that time, once more.

"How about Twiddlethumbs?" Sachie Tartan said, enthusiastically. "What do you think of Twiddlethumbs?"

Gold glanced at the pet her best friend was gushing over - a little Speckled Padloper tortoise, not more than eight centimetres. It reminded her, not of seawater and the smell of salted air, but of what had happened to Sachie's last pet.

"Remember what happened to Cinammon?" she asked, rather dryly.

Sachie gave her a look. "It's not my fault, Gold. I didn't know Orion wouldn't take good care of him. Trust me, I -"

"Sachie," Gold cut through, very gently. "You know you can't handle pets. You even sold off that kitten you purchased week before last, and she was the most manageable thing, ever. Seriously, why bother with another?"

"Because pets are cute," Sachie insisted. "I even ordered a larger aquarium for - for - what are we going to name this tortoise, Gold?"

It was kind of clear she could not argue with Sachie, on this matter. "Engorgio?" Gold suggested, with a shrug.

Sachie blinked. "But it's ... tiny."

"Ever heard of foil?"

"Oooh, I get it!" Sachie grinned. "FOIL method! Polynomial expansion!"

EhWHAT?

Gold blinked.
