>>what does that mean "ilk" ?
Basically, it means "those like him/her/them" and is generally used when
the writer dislikes the person or group in question. (It comes from an
old Scottish kinship term.)

Oh ! That is very good day then ! I learned a new interesting term. I could just see the relationship with elk, since she was talking of reins. I did not know Zoe played with words. I will read her more carefully then :-)Would the expression "I feel akin with Martin and Camembert" be proper ?
