quaggle

 * On b.g.c. it shows many various cites but the part of speech seems to always differ; some show it as noun, some as verb, some as adjective; it's apparently provincial or dialectal English.. it also could be a group of something: hence, from b.g.c., "That company, squadron, covey, herd, quaggle, or whatever it may be called, of Tanks" and "Some years ago a Foreign Service officer took a quaggle of American tourists in Paris to the Crillon Grill for lunch." Then we have this: "PYC put the rest of the warnings through on the telephone, trying not to quaggle and even to sound reassuring to the equally excited hiccups on the other...". Anyway, I can;t sort it out. sewnmouthsecret 22:03, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

 * added the one running text cite from books, deleted until more cites can be found which aren't dictionaries/glossaries. - 18:16, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
