RAREBIT, n. A Welsh rabbit, in the speech of the humoreless, who point out that it is not a rabbit. To whom it may be solemnly explained that the comestible known as toad-in-a-hole is really not a toad, and that
riz-de-veau a' la financie're is not the smile of a calf prepared after the recipe of a she banker.
