Uncle John agrees with uncle Wiki.

Nice top. I can remember being so frustrated because I was too short to make the kind of top you wrap with a string and throw at the ground spin.
#4: John Macdonald (perlwolf) on Mar 20, 2018
Actually, Norma, it's harder to make a top out of a tall person than a short one - aside from spinning in their grave.

I have an old fashioned top like the one Norma described. It is made out of solid wood and has a white string that you wind up around the bottom of the top. You throw it to the ground and hold onto the string and it whirls for quite a while. It's very fun and I've had it for years. I still play with it from time to time.

At least they couldn't accuse me of being dizzy.

Tough to see at first, then it was a great image.
#13: Aurelian Ginkgo (AurelianGinkgo) on Mar 22, 2018
All this jargon is making my head explode. Heh heh, I guess I just blew my top. Nyuk nyuk nyuk.
#14: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Mar 22, 2018
Grooooan, Aurelian. All these comments over a top are over the top.
#15: John Macdonald (perlwolf) on Mar 23, 2018
Can't top that one. Lets move to another top-ic. Top of the morning to you.
#16: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Mar 23, 2018
So, John, you think we've topped out?
#17: John Macdonald (perlwolf) on Mar 23, 2018
No, there's always one more over-the-top pun to be had. Once you get started, you just can't sTOP. So, keep sending in your box tops.
#18: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Mar 23, 2018
I think it's getting a little top heavy around here.
#19: Greggo (Greggo) on Mar 23, 2018
Nice puzzle, but big words make me as vertiginous as an Australopithecene.
#20: Aurelian Ginkgo (AurelianGinkgo) on Mar 25, 2018
Greggo, do you have hippopotamonstrosesquipedaliaphobia?
#21: Aurelian Ginkgo (AurelianGinkgo) on Mar 25, 2018
Bonus play-on-words: the word "top" is hiding backwords in the above ridiculously long word.
#22: Ron Jacobson (shmily999) on Mar 28, 2018
I got nothing. <sigh>
#23: Susan Nagy (susannagy54) on May 8, 2018
Why should Greggo have a fear of hippopotamuses (hippopotomi?)?
#24: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on May 9, 2018
I was going to append a link to a song about hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia, but they mispronounced it so egregiously that I just can't. Instead have an evil raccoon: https://kamilat1997.files.wordpress.com/2014/12/hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia.jpg
#25: Norma Dee (norm0908) on May 9, 2018

Thank you Joe, for knowing what that word means. It's my favorite useless word in the whole English language. And the irony is delightful!
