Greetings,
"alligatored" as in the hide of an alligator..........Also known in the UK
as "Mock Croc". After a craze in the 1960s of making womens fashion
accessories handbags shoes etc in a kind of plastic "crocodile effect"
material.
Yes I think "moody" is probably out of tune in any language as many of the
pianos I get called to tune are definitely moody.
All a bit like me really ......moody mock croc.
Regards
Tony Court.
