Mr Miller, William, Bill - we are friends, yes? So better from a friend than otherwise.
Vat is dis 'rear facade'? Facade is French for 'frontage' or 'face'.
Huh?
Great oxymoron here. hahaha! Love it. Good point Julie! Good point Tulsa! They both work. I do love your 'gardening', Tulsa. No dirty hands!
According to Wikipedia:
A facade or façade (pronounced /fəˈsɑːd/) is generally one side of the exterior of a building, especially the front, but also sometimes the sides and rear. The word comes from the French language, literally meaning "frontage" or "face".
So the rear facade means the rear face. What's the matter with that?
Oxymorons or not - I loved it and it only took 12 mins to do :-)
