I got "that" one when someone dropped the hint that it's often used in crossword puzzles... my mum is a crossword fan and I remember picking that word up years ago while helping her!

It was a nuisance. An adventure was one thing - but an adventure without anything to eat was quite another thing. That wouldn't do at all. (The Valley of Adventure)

Enid was very clever to put nine birds into a sentence! It's one of the best of those puzzles I've ever come across!
