I had a pantograph, many, many years ago. I used it to enlarge clip art for various projects. After the personal computer and Illustrator, etc... came along, I sold it to a teacher at a yard sale. A very handy *little* device. Didn't Thos. Jefferson use one for making copies of documents?

I got it - but to my way of seeing things, the pez candy is coming out of the character's neck -- and that always seemed more than a little creepy to me. Kind-a Dr. Phibes-y.

I'm reading a bio of Lorenzo De'Medici and am curious as to the practice (at least in this book) of spelling the name "Medici" regardelss if it's being used to describe one Medici, two or more Medici, and/or something belonging to the or a Medici. Anyone??
Very interesting article. I think that if you are worried that a sommelier has drunk a bit of your very expensive wine, it's probably because you couldn't afford it in the first place... I've forwarded to my brother, a sommelier. I'm curious to hear his take on the subject.
But isn't the tartness the reason for using a lemon? I do like the 1/2 a cup of juice yield, however. *must find this much ad-meyer-ed lemon for a tasting*
Awww. Pleth, when and if you you first employ yours as 'working boobs,' I have every confidence that you not only will perceive it as 'battle' you may even postulate about it, eloquently, of course, on wordnik! They don't call it "latching on" for nothing....
Wait...is this list supposed to be about what I hate about YOU or ME? 'Cause, I don't even know YOU and I don't' hate anything about ME. Maybe I could list everything I hate about THIS LIST..? What I hate abut this list is that it is soooo negative. I have stretch marks and my ****'s aren't perky anymore either -- but I don't hate that about me. And neither should you (ya, know, about you -- or me either...). Make lemonade, eb...
Yes! I tried to comment on the Icelandic word for boobs hours ago but it got hung up (no pun intended) with that irritating circular dots thing...and I just gave up! *bobbingar* *snort*
r - well, that is a good place to start, isn't it?! Thanks! I hope to begin pronunciating my way through it --and more-- very soon. I just need a plan for capturing a few quiet moments each morning to myself...
I agree, pro. It's awfully ugly and unclear. If you want a word to be recognized as an acronym -- and not a misspelled, madeupical or foreign word - you must use either all caps or periods after each letter.... no??
Before plastic wrap and tin foil (and God knows, before fancy plastic containers made just for left-overs) my Grandmother would whelve a bowl over a plate of left-overs to keep them fresh in the fridge. Sometimes, so do I.
Yes. Mr dontcry used to tease me about my grandfather's ever sprawling "Winchester tool shed." Grandpa just kept on adding and adding to it. Unlike Mrs. Winchester, however, my Grandpa used mostly found materials for construction.
The back bumper of my Datsun "fell off" when I went to Europe for the summer and my brother drove my "dottie" while I was gone. That was the beginning of the end for old dottie.
1973 Datsun 710, red. Took it from Slippery Rock State College, PA to Key West, FL, laden with 5 co-eds, for spring break, 1978. Got a really bad sunburn. Learned how to pitch a tent, how to hustle pool, and how to live out of a car.
wordies: I needed a break from grieving after having lost my brother last week. I came to wordnik, clicked on 'never put your bananas in the refrigerator' and got just what I needed. Thank you. You are just what I needed. Carry on. I'll be back. *blows kisses*
Thanks for sharing, andrew. I am *involved* with mr dontcry, a manuscript I may or may not finish reading, a 2006 Shiraz, and half a turkey & Swiss on a nice whole grain roll.
Later I'll be involved with, again, mr dontcry, (goes without saying, really) my heavenly bed, a down quilt, the remote, and possibly a quick peek at my book club book.
I struggled with that age-old question: to get a colon tat or semicolon tat? Who hasn't, right? I became so snarfled I just never decided. Of course, I knew exactly where to put the colon tat, but the semicolon...tough call.
ru - the snowed-in-chocolate-candy-eating-wall-bouncing fest is on hold for lent... *wah* It's been replaced by a yoga-posing-step-aerobics-tennis-ball-bouncing fest. ;-)
I dunno, maybe it was the recipe. I was intrigued with the shape and color of this vegetable when I saw it in a Latin market. I sliced it, like a pear, and sautéd it in olive oil with garlic, red pepper, salt, sugar and vinegar. The texture was crispy -- but like almost-raw potato crispy and the spiciness didn't seem to go with it at all... kinda yucky all the way around. I'm thinking that a purée will be the best bet for this little green gourd.
I like "stripe-y." "You know how, if you sit on the chaise at the pool without a towel, when you get up the backs of your legs are all stripe-y? Yeah, I hate that."
When my daughter was little - 3 or 4 - she used to say "I'm so psych-ded" when she meant "I'm so excited." It was so cute! We still say it sometimes. Note: she quit saying it like that loooong before middle school...
Sorry, Erin. My pronunciations stopped showing up on my profile page about a month ago and I'm having trouble on an on-going basis both listing and listening to them. But I think you are as cute as a button, and I know you and your team will get it right! I believe in you!
He mentions at the end of the video that he, in addition to being nearly blind, has tinnitus. Maybe that explains his slight trouble with the letter "R"...
I thoroughly enjoyed the video, by the way. My grandmother experienced those hallucinations at the end of her life. She went blind from macular degeneration.
How about taking more than your share of the good crunchy stuff off the top of a casserole before passing it...huh? That's a high crime in my book. Maybe we could call it scalping the casserole.
This is interesting. Earlier, I put half a round of left-over brie on the counter to warm up a bit for my little pre-dinner happy hour. When I returned to the kitchen a few minutes ago, my daughter's boyfriend had hacked it up like some kind of animal. Seriously? It looks like the dog got hold of it. What's worse, he gouged out all the middle part. I'd like to give his 'brie' a good pointing!
gangerh - you're right, I didn't notice that before. My last several pronunciations - like Gangerh Management - aren't listed. Sheesh... *can't wait to pronunciate sheesh but afraid to anger Mike*
*whispers* I'm here...I got you message. Trying to act natural and not make eye contact with Mike. I think he suspects something. When he's not looking, I'll try to slip over to the porch...
That's funny, I just finished reading a chapter all about ketchup in a book I'm browsing, "What the Dog Saw." I learned a lot about ketchup -- but nothing I remember about ketchup chocolates!
Well, it looks as if he certainly had a wart or mole above his right eyebrow. He also had a little soul patch, which I will assume to be the "and all" in this head shot.
No, wait: I'm looking at a portrait of him on his mount. His steed seems to be smirking at the "Lord Protector," who is sporting a bit of a paunch and is holding what appears to me to be a thread of a crop in his pudgy little hand which is resting on his hip. His foot is in poor form in the stirrup. I guess the artists of the day took him at his word.
I was just a victim of in-your-face schadenfreude by my Jewish neighbor on facebook! I'd call her on it but she's so nice that I think I'd actually be guilty of schadenfreude if I did... I think I'll just blame facebook and get on with it.
bilby: Har! Love that video. I used to make a "sh, sh, sh" sound that was pretty effective as well. I was told it was similar to a sound the baby heard in the womb. I'm guessing this works for the same reason.
I just started a book last night with the intention of finishing it before school starts on Monday. I doubt that I'll finish it before midnight tonight - unless I read non-stop today (I wish...). I'll make a point to note how I feel after the ball drops.
I agree with tel -- the spacing isn't appropriate for matching up the pronouncer with the pronunciation. Sorry to be negative. Here's a laugh to balance things out: :-o
I know. Sometimes I can't remember the names of people I haven't met and it irritates the hell out of me ;-)
Here's a funny story about remembering (let's see if I remember how it goes):
My grandfather, who was at the time, about 90 years old, came out of the kitchen shaking his head. My aunt (with whom he lived) asked him what was wrong. He said,
"I put the bread in that contraption in the kitchen...you know, with the slots (and he makes a motion with his hands going down like karate chops) and then the bread pops up (and he makes two fists with thumbs up and he whistles, twice) -- what's that called?"
My aunt said: "You mean the toaster, Daddy?"
My grandfather walked away from her saying, "Toaster....toaster....toaster."
My aunt then asked: What are you doing Dad?" To which my grandfather replied: "I heard on the TV that if you repeat a word three times, you'll always remember it."
And he always did.
So, there you have it. Solution to your memory problem, t.
Wow. Bilby, a Snuggie is a blanket you wear. It's for people who can't figure out how to wrap a blanket around themselves without trapping their own arms...
PU, because I often work on publications/promotions that are prepared many months in advance of their actual release date, I'm usually a good 6 months ahead of the times. I've been known to put Christmas music on and turn the a/c way down in July to get in the 'mood' to write for the up-coming season... It's all just a state of mind, dude. Flex it!
I'm thinking that Mr. Funk's intention was to honor words with the most beautiful definitions or sentiments of the time - not the words with the most beautiful pronunciations. Either way, I disagree with his list.
I do not wave or fry them. I just put them in the toaster oven on what I think is a reasonable amount of time for just-buttery-crispness, then invariably, they burn...
A glacier just slid off my roof, hit the cellar door and shook the entire house to the rafters. I thought those wingnuts on my roof were supposed to stop that from happening...
Whichbe - it sounds like you are riding up on a horse just before -- and away just after -- your pronunciations here. Gives them something of a Monty Python flair!
I don't know what has happened, but wordnik isn't working for me anymore. Nothing updates, my list additions don't show up, I don't think anyone will even be able to read this...but I'm sending it out any way... It's no fun now.
I think there is, should be, a difference between controlling the environment in a classroom (or office or subway car, etc.) and controlling the people in those venues. I think nearly everyone appreciates a safe, pleasant atmosphere but almost no one appreciates being controlled... I like the sort of old-fashioned idea of reward and punishment being a group activity (when the group is homogenous, such as a class at school) - in that the group is only as good or bad as the best or worst of them. This encourages a group to police itself and the leader can take on the role of moderator.
When I logged on this morning it was still stuck on the same spot. I hit F5 and it updated. I wonder why it got stuck -- never happened before. How do you clear a cache? (That sounds like the set-up for a joke!) I use a PC, Vista, explorer...
What couch? Is John in therapy? He probably has latent wordie issues. I hope this kad can help him -- although, she seems confused about who she really is...
mr dontcry has a 1971 Nova in My Garage. He has formed a band of friends, the "Nova Knights" for "Nova Night" - each Friday night in My Garage. They are supposed to be working on rebuilding the old rustbucket -- I mean the classic car... I get the feeling that I will never be able to park My Car in My Garage... *wah*
We've always said boinking, not bonking for sex. If you hit someone on the head, say with a rubber mallet, à la whack-a-mole, that would be bonking. Remember Little Bunny Foo-Foo?
Whaaa??? Oh! Har! I mean, sarting, ahem, yes is the technical term for how to begin when beginning with tomatoes. Yes, it's a very technical cooking term I wouldn't expect most of you to know....
Uselessness: First of all, it sounds like your sauce is way too runny. You are sarting with whole tomatoes, aren't you? Let it cook down a bit more, okay? Also, don't rinse the pasta. That startch helps the sauce to cling. Next, using the bottom-most tine of your fork, select a couple two-three strands; lift them up (your fork should be at about eye level) to separate them from the pack; lower your fork(at an angle so they don't slip off) to a corner of your plate or bowl; press the tips of all tines down and at an angle; twirl; lift a bit to inspect for hangers-down; if spotted, twirl another half turn or so; move your mouth over the plate; open wide and insert the entire fork (excluding the handle). You have to move quickly, right? Also, try to focus on your twirling until you've got it down pat. No more typing while twirling. You're not ready.
A neutron walks into a bar and orders a drink. When the bartender gives him the drink the neutron asks, "How much?" The bartender says: "No charge for you."
mr dontcry suggested that I list this word. He comes up with a good one every now and then. Perhaps I should reward him with another delcious treat from down under. Oh, clean up your minds! I mean Australia! You know, marmite...? (shhhh)
You should not have been diving with all that food in your belly, 'nach. Also, I'm thinking the pools at the Radisson probably are not even deep enough to dive safely.
I tasted a grapple today. It's an apple that tastes a bit like a concord grape. Actually, I found that it smells more like a grape than it tastes like one. Very delicious though.
I just noticed that the very large word is now purple. I rather liked the blue...
I'm not sure how to say this -- but in wordie, I could scan the front page and pick out the comments I made, or my name or words I had commented on -- by color. On this Zeitgeist list, the word and the wordie are always the same color -- which makes quick scanning impossible... Sorry if this is redundant. More sorrier if it is incomprehensible...
I remember when we moved to Oklahoma when I was in 5th grade, our neighbor referred to her dog's poo as "duke." She called it "dog duke." I had never heard that expression before -- or since.
I don't like the "nikkers" ending because it sounds like a popular slang of "niggers" and I don't like that word. It hurts my feelings. Wordniks is my vote -- if we can't just be wordies on wordnik.
wordies - the_bear just had a cub... She probably has (gasp) more pressing things to tend to just now. She'll join in. Give her time to adjust to all this -- change -- . All right, then?

No, wait: I'm looking at a portrait of him on his mount. His steed seems to be smirking at the "Lord Protector," who is sporting a bit of a paunch and is holding what appears to me to be a thread of a crop in his pudgy little hand which is resting on his hip. His foot is in poor form in the stirrup. I guess the artists of the day took him at his word.

I know. Sometimes I can't remember the names of people I haven't met and it irritates the hell out of me ;-)
Here's a funny story about remembering (let's see if I remember how it goes):
My grandfather, who was at the time, about 90 years old, came out of the kitchen shaking his head. My aunt (with whom he lived) asked him what was wrong. He said,
"I put the bread in that contraption in the kitchen...you know, with the slots (and he makes a motion with his hands going down like karate chops) and then the bread pops up (and he makes two fists with thumbs up and he whistles, twice) -- what's that called?"
My aunt said: "You mean the toaster, Daddy?"
My grandfather walked away from her saying, "Toaster....toaster....toaster."
My aunt then asked: What are you doing Dad?" To which my grandfather replied: "I heard on the TV that if you repeat a word three times, you'll always remember it."
And he always did.
So, there you have it. Solution to your memory problem, t.

dontcry commented on the word What to look for in a classroom
I think there is, should be, a difference between controlling the environment in a classroom (or office or subway car, etc.) and controlling the people in those venues. I think nearly everyone appreciates a safe, pleasant atmosphere but almost no one appreciates being controlled... I like the sort of old-fashioned idea of reward and punishment being a group activity (when the group is homogenous, such as a class at school) - in that the group is only as good or bad as the best or worst of them. This encourages a group to police itself and the leader can take on the role of moderator.

dontcry commented on the word spaghetti
Uselessness: First of all, it sounds like your sauce is way too runny. You are sarting with whole tomatoes, aren't you? Let it cook down a bit more, okay? Also, don't rinse the pasta. That startch helps the sauce to cling. Next, using the bottom-most tine of your fork, select a couple two-three strands; lift them up (your fork should be at about eye level) to separate them from the pack; lower your fork(at an angle so they don't slip off) to a corner of your plate or bowl; press the tips of all tines down and at an angle; twirl; lift a bit to inspect for hangers-down; if spotted, twirl another half turn or so; move your mouth over the plate; open wide and insert the entire fork (excluding the handle). You have to move quickly, right? Also, try to focus on your twirling until you've got it down pat. No more typing while twirling. You're not ready.
