Origin of frogman¹

First recorded in 1940–45; frog ¹ + man

The Frogman, who wanted to see more of the world, had accompanied her to assist in the search.

The woman thought about this during the time that Cayke and the Frogman ate their breakfast.

The dove was as strong as Ugu had been, and in size it was considerably bigger than the Frogman.

You may be sure the girls carried no matches, nor did the Frogman or Cayke or any of the animals.

But the Frogman took Jack's arm and then he followed the path more easily.
