Erg, marymtf, hoped everyone had forgotten that one. My mom used to say it to me all the time–the second half, especially.

Surely, for “sackbut”, either of us would have come up with something far more creative than a mere horn. Perhaps a burlap tube–it WOULD be a sack, but everything you put in falls out. And soap-lock? Post-zombie-apocalypse, soap-locks will be vital, soap being a prized trade commodity highly subject to theft. Even zombies like to feel fresh at times.
