Up, Down and Touch the Ground "Up, Down and Touch the Ground" is a song from the 1966 musical film featurette "Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree". The song was also subsequently incorporated into the 1977 musical film, "The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh" which is an amalgamation of the three previous Winnie-the-Pooh featurettes including "The Honey Tree". In the song Winnie the Pooh's exercise makes him hungry, and although he over-eats (it leads to his stuck-in-Rabbit's door incident later in the film), he is proud of his fat stomach and he exercises to gain weight and grow even rounder. Halfway through the song however, he bends down too far, accidentally ripping the stitching on his bottom as a result of becoming fat, but upon seeing his bottom in the mirror, he quickly ties it together again. By the end of the song Pooh has rationalized his over-eating by calling his hunger, "healthy".

Sotie A sotie (or sottie) is a short satirical play common in 15th- and 16th-century in France. The word (compare modern "sottise") comes from the "sots", "fools", who appeared as characters in the play. In the plays, these fools would make observations and exchange thoughts on contemporary events and individuals. Shorter plays, sometimes referred to as "parades", need not have any plot at all, but relied simply on a detached dialogue. The genre has its origin in the Feast of Fools and other Carnival-related festivities. The purpose of these events was to present a world turned upside-down, in this case with the fools as fonts of wisdom. The fools were dressed in grey robes, and wore a hood with donkey ears.

Yid The word Yid ( ; Yiddish: ייִד‎ ) is a slang Jewish ethnonym of Yiddish origin. Its usage may be controversial in modern English language. It is not usually considered offensive when pronounced (rhyming with "deed"), the way Yiddish speakers say it, though some may deem the word offensive nonetheless. When pronounced (rhyming with "did") by non-Jews, it is commonly intended as a pejorative term. It is used as a derogatory epithet by antisemites along with, and as an alternative to, the English word 'Jew'.

Alliterative verse In prosody, alliterative verse is a form of verse that uses alliteration as the principal ornamental device to help indicate the underlying metrical structure, as opposed to other devices such as rhyme. The most commonly studied traditions of alliterative verse are those found in the oldest literature of the Germanic languages, where scholars use the term 'alliterative poetry' rather broadly to indicate a tradition which not only shares alliteration as its primary ornament but also certain metrical characteristics. The Old English epic "Beowulf", as well as most other Old English poetry, the Old High German "Muspilli", the Old Saxon "Heliand", the Old Norse "Poetic Edda", and many Middle English poems such as "Piers Plowman", "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight", and the "Alliterative Morte Arthur" all use alliterative verse.
