Cornish Rex

A feline-like costume worn by small aliens as a disguise while they study Earthlings.

“Dude! Why does your cat look so weird?!”

“She isn’t a cat! Gweny just wears her Cornish Rex costume because it makes her look like she ALMOST belongs on this planet.”

cornish pasty

A small 3 legged animal found out in remote areas of cornwall related closely to haggi (native to scottish highlands). Hunted to near extinction in the 18th century, this animal has now been taken in as an endangered species and bred in undisclosed sanctuaries as the primary ingredient in "cornish pastys". The flavour is often mistaken to that of beef or lamb (although cheap misrepresentations of a true pasty are commonplace).

Until a few hundred years ago cornish pasty hunting was a day to day activity for royalty and upper classes.

Cornish Hen

A Cornish hen is when both partners spread their cheeks apart and press their butts together. One partner transfers fecal matter into the other partner, and vice versa until all the starting person has not only their own feces transferred back into themselves, they also have their partners feces inside them as well. You then baste the hen put it in the oven, or in actual terms, bust a nut on the stuffed bird and put them in the sun. It's called a Cornish hen because it resembles stuffing a Cornish hen before putting it in the oven.

I would much rather Cornish Hen her before I Chili Dog her.
