Note: Was doing a word search this am in the Lexicon Webster Dictionary for a different word and ran into the following:
burg - "a fortress or fortified town of early and medieval times"
burgage - "Law in England, a tenure, whereby...citizens...held their lands...of the king or other lord for a yearly rent; in Scotland, that tenure....was held under the crown."
burgee - "A three cornered or swallow-tailed pennant used as a distinquishing flag on merchant ships and yachts."
STRANGE ;)
I selected my online name because I liked the color burgundy, water and the seashore, and because "eb" sounded somewhat British to me. However, I was not familiar with the words above, and they all are quite United Kingdom.
STRANGE I SAY! IN A NICE WAY! :)

P.S. My son was born in Oxford, England, and Quad was kind enough to add him to the map of Ebid Members as "Burgyeb's Son".
I found my son's birthdate listed among the copyright dates in the dictionary I used. :D
