That was probably the same one who was looking for a vast proofreader!

I don't EVEN want to ask. But to clarify the koozie thing, it's a US term for can covers (that insulate, and/or can be used for marketing (logos, etc).
And koozie is a hack on the older, and not much used anymore word cozy, which in product terms referred mostly to teapot covers and occassionaly to cup covers (usually teacups). The picture I posted of a teapot cozy is actually like 5 years old. Most folks under 35 years old have probably never heard of a teapot cover.

Was that on the US/UK What's the Difference test? According to Wikipedia and the BBC, "Winkie" (proper noun) was an award-winning carrier pigeon, who could also have been quite cozy in the koozie. But I believe you're referring to that other thing (as in Wee Willie), aren't you?

Oh lawd, save me now. <cough> I admit it. For once in my life, my mind was in the gutter.
