And if it stands for "Gift in Crib", it means that you have become heavily accultured to Christian imagery. Or you wish it could be Christmas every day.
Is it that crib? Is it not that crib? I have no idea as I've never heard the phrase before. I am heavily accultured to Christian imagery so it's the only crib I could think of :-)
Ah, I assumed you were right. It sounded right to me. My initial assumption was that it meant "baby", and then that it couldn't because I couldn't see why you would have said that; but since you didn't say that, it could.
"I began playing with it for a photo ... I didn't realise that crocs were so aggressive. ... I was shocked - the animal clearly wanted to kill me"
That's about the only thing I know about crocs. I don't know, maybe in Israel crocs intelligence and sanguinity are better known that their carnivorosity?
I empathise more with the croc. But I sympathise with the guy -- a predator spends 90% of its time failing to hunt iirc, but people do stupid stuff and have narrow escapes only some of the time :)
Although, I bet they can't. I mean, he was caught on camera, I bet lots of people say "I was just walking past and it went for me!" with no mention of "Ooh, sleeping tiger! I wonder what happens if I poke it?" :)
Earlier I watched the last episode of Life in Cold Blood, where David Attenborough demonstrates the "very clear signalling" of an alligator defending its nest.
He's a very brave man. Putting his face near enough to that spitting snake to provoke a reaction must take some nerves even if you are wearing a visor to protect your eyes.
