Desegregated?

I think we can also add "as Farrell is to exempt" to the array of
examples.

Adrian, T.O.P.

I had been pondering variants of "Eddie-ize" (it should be "Mc", if
the slugline is a clue). Now I am truly lost. Who's O'Farrell?

[CDB]

Hm. Morally improved? (Edified; it's not commercial, though.)

Thank you!

Here's your Cormo. I have no idea what the Dadger was on about with
"Farrell", but that's why he's such a good hinter.

LOL And I still don't get the title of Q26!

Farrell > Frank O'Farrell > to frank = to exempt

I haven't thought of a new example for Q14 though.

There, I knew I'd learn something from the SDC. I'd never realised that's
what 'frank' means. I'd always assumed that franked mail was stamped, rather
than exempted.

Especially as the term "franking machine" refers to a device that
stamps.

I imagine it is so called because it exempts the recipient from having to
pay for the delivery of the mail piece.
