LANGUAGE CORNER
LOCH NESS
Loch Ness is probably the best known British lake, because of the Loch Ness monster which may live in the deep water. It is a long lake in the northern Scotland, where it forms part of the Caledonian Canal. It extends for 23 miles (36 km), and in places is over 7000 feet (213 metres) in depth. ‘ Loch’ is the Scottish word for “lake”.
The Loch Ness monster is a large prehistoric creature said to be living in the deep waters of Loch Ness, Scotland, but as yet, in spite of various ‘sightings’, not scientifically proved to exist. The by-name is Nessie.
LOONY
The Loony Left is a term used in the late 1980s for the extremist members or groupings of the Labor Party, whose campaigns and activities were regarded as damaging to the party by the majority, who supported the more moderate policies of Neil Kinnock. Loony is a colloquial form of lunatic, in the sense “crazy; irresponsible”.
