| Summary: | bay To go back to fifty years ago, one of the expressions of contempt used by citizens of St. John's, when speaking of outport men, was "Bay-noddy," . . . As is natural to suppose, its [club's] token was the noddy, which, as my readers are aware, is a bird of the pelican family, frequently seen on our shores. Its enemies assert that the noddy is principally noted for its stupidity and the ease with which it is caught. PRINTED ITEM DNE-cit W. J. KIRWIN JAN 7 1965 Used I and Sup Used I and Sup 4 Used I [see 'baywop'] Only first sentence is cited in DNE. The following card, B_3034, is a continuation of this one. Word form also found under head word "noddy".
