Organ - an instrument on which Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor can sound awe-inspiring. A good friend has one in his 'barn', obtained from a local church which had replaced it with modern electronics. He can play that piece so well that the hairs on the back of my neck are raised; all I have ever played was a descant recorder at school, so I'm much impressed. ^:)^

Anagram - word or phrase formed by rearranging the letters of another. Cryptic crossword compilers do it a lot, just to annoy the puzzlers. (Dabrasts!) :D

Rastafarian - member of a Jamaican religious movement which worships Haile Selassie, Emperor of Ethiopia. Maybe some kind person could tell them the bad news that he's dead ...

Omega - last letter of the Greek alphabet. The upper and lower case symbols are much loved by mathematicians, scientists and engineers, who all enjoy solving their equations to obtain the values of unknown quantities which look like a set of headphones (upper) or a bare bottom (lower). :D

Utopian - an imagined idealistic perfection of everything, in the best of all possible worlds. Most of the time it's probably unattainable, but then look at the late Carlo Ponti, who had the fabulous privilege of being married to Sophia Loren for several blissful years ... :D

Oscar - I had an uncle Oscar many years ago, and now one of my three grandsons also has that name. Neither of them with any association with prestigious film awards, though both with winning ways about them. (Groan, if you like ... :) )

Jacob Zuma had an ARSEHOLE transplant.
The arsehole rejected Zuma, presumably on the same basis that magnets will repel each other with opposite polarity.

Legerdemain - skill at using the hands when performing magic tricks. Since it's made up from three 'frog' words, which taken together mean 'light of hand' in English, another interpretation of its meaning could be 'light - fingered', which isn't as flattering, and suggests a bit of dishonest thievery ... :-? Ah, the subtleties of colloquial English as she is spoken!

Negative - there is a thing called "i" in maths, which is defined as the square root of minus one. Many folk consider that to be an impossible concept, but stubborn mathematicians insist it's a valid means of solving problems in "complex numbers". All that's needed is a willingness to just accept the concept, and then Bob's your uncle ... Well, I never believed in it, but because I needed to pass exams by pretending that I did, I submitted to the blackmail, and passed. I still don't believe it! :-\
