^^Spun polyester should never legally be allowed to be called fleece. Like so many other products, the sheer volume of shysters allows it to become "normal".
A fly and a flea in a flue were imprisoned, so what could they do? Said the flea, 'let us fly'. Said the fly, 'let us flee'. So they flew through the flaw in the flue.
Your recommendation for the analogy doesn't qualify as an analogy. Showers don't cause rain to be in liquid in the similar way that freezers cause snow to be in a solid form.
A flue is a part of a chimney, not another word for a chimney (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/flue). Fireplace would be closer, though it's still only a part of a chimney (the opening at the bottom). I think fireplace should at least be accepted as well as flue.
"A flue is a duct, pipe, or opening in a chimney" - extract from the wiki entry, so clearly a part of a chimney, not another word for chimney. If you asked for 'historical word for chimney' then you might be correct
Fireplace could also be analogous to chimney since a flue is also not a chimney, but the metal vent inside the chimney that controls the amount of air that flows in and out.
A flue is everything but the brick itself of the concept chimney. The fireplace is not a chimney at all (it is as wrong as calling a campfire a chimney) or part of it. Chimney is the structure above the fire place to let the smoke out (aircanal usually made by bricks, also in places without a fireplace like a factory)
Actually, a lie is something that is deliberate and said with the intent to mislead. Lies don't have to be falsehoods. Quoting a truthful statement out of context with the intent to mislead is a lie.
For the reporter hat, I thought it was referring to a Newsboy Cap. I kept trying to stretch my brain for another name for them other than "those stereotypical Irish hat thingies".
Something is amiss here. I typed in 'galoshes', 'gratuity' and 'grotto'. All to no avail. Then wondering if I had mis-typed those answers, I typed them in again. Still no pat on the back or at least a 'Try again later'. Despondent, I shuffled my feet under my desk... then a sort of inspiration hit me. I asked myself "Who is the most powerful being in this rather popular and increasingly popular website?"... I smiled as I realised who it was. With a cry of "Eureka!" I tapped those letters in. K-A-L-B--A-H-A-M-U-T. Alas, he did not enlighten me on the the answers I needed... but I know what colour shoes my wife should not wear at a funeral, wedding or a marriage. God bless you Kalba Master! You are the One!

Not always the most reliable of sources but from wiki -
The term "funnel" may refer to the chimney or smokestack on a steam locomotive and commonly refers to the same on a ship.
