Help[Opinions] Re: Thoughts on Wolfgang?
in reply to a message by Fionnghuala
It's not technically an English word, but it could function as one.
If I was in the wilderness and asked, "Do you think there's a wolfgang around here?"...whoever was with me would probably think I was weird or joking, but they'd understand my meaning (pack of wolves) without difficulty. Maybe they'd even start looking for tracks (a wolf path) in response; if they found any, they could point at a path and say, "Yes, there's a wolfgang here," and it'd make sense.
