Archdruid: Behold! For somewhere behind the clouds, a very small chunk of the moon is being obscured by a very small part of the earth, causing it to go slightly beige.
Moon Gibbon Folk: Aaagh! The moon's being eaten! The moon's being eaten! Behold the wrath of the Mighty Gibbon!
All: Can't see a bloody thing, and it's damp out here. We're off for a pint.
Archdruid: And I'll also come with you.
Hence the expression "gibbous moon?"
