QOTD

'Borage, incidentally, is said to be part of a complex piece of Cockney rhyming slang: "thyme and borage" - "thyme" punning on "time", borage rhymes with "porridge", hence the slang word for a prison term... '

-- Nic Farey on Facebook (comment on a post by Gary Mattingly with pictures of mullein and borage)
