Talk:Tom Keating

Sayeth the article:


 * After World War Two, he began to restore paintings for a living but mainly worked as a house painter. Despite his attempts, he failed to achieve fame and retaliated by creating forgeries to fool the experts.

I'm a bit confused by this: people don't generally achieve fame by being art restorers or house painters. Was he really trying for fame in this way? --Camembert

explosives
Just now on 3sat! Austrian TV interviewed an art-restorer. She said that she will not try to restore Keating paintings because he buried explosives under the paint, he was a master chemist. source

The term transformed into meaning "rhyming slang". The term is rhyming slang, in which the second element, providing the rhyme, is usually omitted. Like pretty much all specialized language of a closed group, rhyming slang moves from the closed group into general currency. (Pamour (talk) 21:24, 21 October 2016 (UTC)).
