[Dixielandjazz] Pruriginosity

[John Farrell]

Jerry Gordon said :

<"pruriginous"?!?  Better scratch that, Luis; nobody knows what it means.>

This word occurs in the Laurel and Hardy movie "Way Out West" when they sing
"In the pruriginous mountains of Virginia" which they go on to explain (with
entwined arms) is by the trail of the lonesome prune illuminated by the pale
pruneshine.

Another fine mess you got me into.
