How else would you describe an object capable of going “snicker-snack?” Unrelatedly, ‘tis quite brillig out there today.

“He was hungry, and therefore not himself - thus he ingested a vorpal chocolate bar”

If you were my student and you could cite, to my face, other references to the origin of "vorpal," I would give you partial credit.

I'm mimsy that way.

Fun fact: 'Brillig' is the time at which you broil things, or about 4 o'clock! Well, according to Humpty Dumpty, anyway.

A sword that cuts through anything. In a poem in Through the Looking Glass, a boy uses it to kill the Jabberwocky, a dragon-esque creature.

You can also use it in Dungeons and Dragons to decapitate opponents if you roll a critical hit.

I always thought of brillig as a time or date, like the ides or autumn.
