City Hall Other Famous Thickets
Posted by Sarah Mirk on Tue, Jun 23, 2009 at 12:33 PM
Did you know that a thicket of lies is creeping up City Hall like an army of insidious topiaries?
It is just one of many famous thickets in the world! The definition of thicket allows for a broad range of notable items — not just lies! — to qualify as thickety.
1 : a dense growth of shrubbery or small trees 2 : something resembling a thicket in density or impenetrability : tangle - a political thicket a, thicket of reporters
Here are three thickets far more enjoyable than the lurid but depressing thicket of lies.

Aha! So a thicket of lies could just be one lie, as long as it's a really dense one?
Also: mmm, thicket of pies...
Let us not forget Portland's own skronk-noise band Thicket featuring, among other, Brian Mumford of Dragging an Ox through Water and John Niekrasz of Why I Must Be Careful:

Urban dictionary defines it as something else, but I strongly feel that "tricket" should be three thickets.
