ridge

Australian slang for "the real thing," the ridgy didge turned out to be a crepe filled with a gloriously tooth rotting combination of banana, rum, cinnamon and maple syrup topped with lashings of cream and ice cream.

In fact, one investor explained the reason why he had used a tax agent: I thought that if an accountant did your tax you were less likely to be audited because the tax accountant themselves went through a reasonable amount of due process to make sure it was all ridgy didge and above board.

The wide ridgy spandrel under the above peaks is obvious, which is as a result of quenching to room temperatures, leading to a phase of intermediate order between the amorphous phase and the crystalline phase, i.e., a mixed polymorphic structure.

We have grown used to seeing this material as tight, ridgy spheres of brownish black, small, flattened calcite crystals, sometimes as individual spheres to maybe a centimeter or two across, sometimes as grapelike clusters of spheres - fairly presentable but not beautiful, mostly just "odd." But these new specimens, of which about 200 are said to have recently come out of the Herja mine, are truly beautiful (if still odd): curved, satiny-lustrous, flattened calcite rhombs forming spheres to 4 cm across, in grape-bunches to 10 cm across; a few of these, offered at the Hawthorneden stand at the Main Show, rest on matrix of massive quartz and galena.

Till on the ridgy wave afar Comes the lone vessel, labouring slow, Spreading the white foam in the air, With sail and top-mast bending low.

"I got an inkling after the City game that Ridgy was out and I might get put back there.
