So ,,,here's wone way wound it ... ...and here's a for instance, for instance .. DUCK Well, that's a bit vague is it not !? Let's make it a bit more specific ... gradually .... letter by letter DUCK LUCK LECK LEAK TEAK TEAL ... not only have I done it, I've sneaked in another ornithological term as well . So ... what about turning CROW ( a bit vague) to ROOK ! (easy-peasy) Or ..... RAIL to SORA ( a bit tougher ,,,, well, it was for me ) Or ..... SWAN to MUTE. ( so was that) Or ....... CHAT to WHIN ( dead easy) Are there other ones ? Yes there are .... all will be revealed. Off you go then. Get thinking. And talking of vagueness ..here's Nouvelle Vague and " Dance with me" ..... very retro this ... "vague" by the way, is the French word for a "wave." So Nouvelle Vague = New Wave.
