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?
Again, on the Christmas Pudding recipe. I wonder what spices to mix? Why so cryptic, BBC?? I just want to make this thing so I can set it on fire. I love being able to set food on fire -- on purpose!
This is funny. I just "random worded" this word. I think kids today (kids I know, anyway) have overused the word random to the point where I don't think they even know what it means anymore!
I like that! I'm going to spread the word. mr dontcry has a plethora of saws in 'my garage' that could use some playing! I wonder what the spelling would be for the sound a played saw makes?
The last time I was in Venice -- must have been around 1980 -- we all drank bottled water (we also drank it when I lived in Germany in the early '70's). Bottled water was the ONLY water we drank -- although it was not the bottled water we know today. THESE bottles were large glass ones for serving more than one person at a time. They delivered it by the case to our villa in Vicenza and our haus in Heilbronn.
Ahhh... So there is a word for the noises my son's been making lately. Can't wait for the eyeball-rolling & mumblement that will take place when I lay this on him after school today! *snort*
A kind of beaver found in most of North America --except Florida -- according to the Free Online Dictionary. Can I presume that Florida is home to only old world beavers? Is it a culture thing?
*loves* It gives a certain legitimacy to the current state of my office, my kitchen, my purse, my car... They're not cluttered, they're currently in a state of disorderedness.
DayMoon: No. I always know when the "next time I'm going to get laid is." It's the next time I look at mr dontcry and smile...
hernesheir: Funny you should ask, really. Today, on the way to church for my son's weekly confirmation class, I was pondering heaven (I do that a lot) and, as usual, the whole concept of 'firmament' came to mind. And, as usual, I tried and tried to imagine it. Is it like the "Swedish Sleep System" that conforms to each (heavenly) body? Or is it more like a really firm cloud? Or maybe like cotton candy...I think I always come to the conclusion that it's kind of a cross between a gas and that beautiful gossamer-like hair on the head of our Christmas Angel who sits atop our tree each year. Hmmm.
I now have a whole new appreciation for the word. Thanks rolig! As a producer of pamphlets, brochures, fliers, & what-have-you, for many years now, I'm happy to learn of its romantic side!
Ha! It's been a while since I've been to Alex. Used to work there. I just remember my favorite Old Town restaurant, Landini Brothers. Yum! Wonder if it's still there...?
It wasn't cheesey at all. A bit pricey, actually.
*is tempted to call the cheesetique and ask for some Venezuelan Beaver Cheese*
As I was drying my hair this morning I suddenly began pondering why we call a cold "a cold" but when we get the flu, it's "the flu."
Then I wondered why I always seem to think of these things while I'm drying my hair... Do you think it has anything to do with the application of heat to my head? Maybe it's just boredom from performing a tedious task...
Actually, now that I think about it, a squeaker would be an improvement. At least it would add "fun" value to the endless chewing it takes it get it down...
Ha! Would that is was, then at least it would still actually be bacon. This is more like ham jerky...or a really tough, very small piece of bologna...like a Barbie ham slice... or a chew toy for a small dog, without the squeaker.
I'm actually getting pretty good at it. It's an art, really, keeping those whites from floating all over the place and not breaking the yolk. *considers new career on the brunch line at The Hilton* *not really*
This is a common term in Western, PA. It applies to the "white bread" group of folks. For instance, my Father, who is Dutch/Scotch, is a cake-eater. My Mother, who is Syrian/Serbian, is not.
I have a friend who lives in a townhouse with a small patio area. He has it filled with containers and grows tons of veggies -- enough peppers to make dozens of jars of his hot pepper jelly!
Thanks for the recipe, moll! I like it better than the ones I've seen calling for marshmallow fluff...;(
Hmmm. I have both a persimmon tree and a black walnut tree. I think the gods are telling me to make some persimmon fudge! *waits impatiently for persimmons & walnuts to ripen...*
It would me a lot to me. I'm willing to do my part. I don't how many wordies there are -- but I'm guessing that one word per ought to do it. *takes kerchief off, puts thinking cap on*
*un-dons gay apparel. dons kerchief. opens shutters. prepares sash for a throw up. checks bed for springiness. settles down. waits for visions of dancing crispy bacon.*
A series of gagging, horking and snorting noises are not necessary when I announce that I am making oatmeal for myself for breakfast and ask if anyone else would like some. A simple 'no thanks' will suffice.
John - I saw that yesterday and laughed out loud. I wanted to comment but had to run off to do stupid non-wordie stuff. *digs toe into dirt and kicks it up*
I don't know. Verge sounds more like something you'd find on the side of the road than the side of the road itself. Like "Euuwww, did you see that pile of verge back there?"
The term is more like: 'suffer fools gladly' and it means an intolerance for ignorance, stupidity, foolishness, etc...
From the Bible, Corinthians.
Edit: I sould have said "not" to suffer fools gladly. To actually suffer them gladly is more at being magnaminous or tolerant of those less bright than ones self.
It IS a wonderland beyond the cellar door. It's dark and musty, the floor is all pebbles and dirt, the walls are stone and always a bit wet. It's ruled by snakes and mice (who are constantly at war) with toads coming and going with the seasons. When the boiler fires up sounds like the end of days... There is a hidden trap door in the main house which leads to that netherworld as well. It's got a few tales to tell I'll bet ya.
No, it's real. Apparently, after naming 4 different kinds of rashes/diseases kids could get, this was the best they could do for number 5. If I'm remembering correctly, a pregnant woman should avoid contact with a child with fifth's disease. Easier said than done if that child happens to be one of hers...
I always had heard it as out the wazoo. Like, "He's got money out the wazoo." Which, if wazoo is what I think it is, sounds painful -- but also rather handy. Kinda like your own, very personal, ATM.
I speak a little Sewdish_Chef. Loosely translated, it means: "If you eat the organs, you must eat them with relish or don't bother eating them at all. Lutefisk, on the other hand, must never be eaten with relish but rather with some lingonberry jelly -- or jam, if jelly is not available. Period."
That was about 8 years ago, so I think the worst is over. Foutunately, Founder (we 'found her') quickly lost her taste for the inedible when she was given a reliable meal twice a day.
When we first got her, my dog ate a Barbie and a ball point pen in one sitting. We found her at a dumpster, so naturally she was dismayed at our horror when she horked up a teeny, tiny, perfectly manicured hand and a little spring.
I gotta go with corndog type. Now, if the dogs were stuck -- I mean displayed -- in, say, a Baked Alaska, and the pots were filled with chocolate sauce, then I'd have to say funnel-cake type.
Flush? Calling me "flush" would be like calling The Titanic a boat. I could have put out forest fires last night with the sweat that dripped off my face in just 20 minutes. I'm like a new super hero: Hot Flash Gordon. When I walk into a room the temperature jumps up 20 degrees. Hypothermia? Just give me a hug. All better. I'm not making this up.
For a long time, the Wye Oak was a famous and very, very old oak tree in Maryland. It survived from sometime in the 1500's until a storm took it down in 2002.
You're the biggest bunch of smart people I know. How do I explain to a a 13 year-old boy why it is essential to attend the funeral for one of his friends? When I tried to explain how it might comfort the parents, he walked out of the room, holding his ears. *help...words of wisdom needed here... trying not to cry...probably will...hates that*
There are a lot of definitions for this word. I just happened to notice that two are missing:
Treat: What the termite guy does when he comes to your house the first time to discourage termites from eating your home. Involves spraying a liquid substance around the foundation of your house.
Treat: What the termite guy does when he comes to your house the second time to discourage you from calling him again. Involves spraying several rooms of your home with what ultimately will look like machine gun fire, thus causing said rooms to resemble any of a number of scences from The Godfather -- pick your favorite: the tollbooth, the revolving door, the elevator, the barber shop, the massage parlor, etc..(OR, the car in the last scene from Bonnie & Clyde).
Is there a 'new' south? Is it a place more south than the previous south? Or is this like the 'new' math? Or is it more like 'New' Zealand? Is there a 'Zealand?' Or an 'Old Zealand?' 'Cause I've never heard of either one.
I have nothing to say about this word. I'm waiting for a peach flip to come out of the oven so I can take off to a Fathers' Day cookout. I decided to random word to kill time. This is the BEST use of a baker's waiting time -- EVER!
I don't know.. It's not like a hard "r" that Americans use when they say "Prego" as in the jar sauce. It's almost as if there is a hint of a "d" or "th" sound just before the "r." I can't describe it -- but I can say it! If only wordie had a "hearie" function. But, of course, even if it did, I would not be able to figure out how to use it...
I promise to try to remain open-minded about the "mites" until they've been properly prepared for me by pleth. Apparently you can't just crack open a jar of Marmite, slather it on a cracker and pop it into your piehole.
I worked in DC for many years -- Georgetown and downtown (K street). I've also toured DC a lot. I've never lived there (I live about 30 or so miles from there), but have visited many friends who do live there. As mass transit systems go, the Metro is a pretty nice one. My take: love touring and eating there. Loved working -- in Georgetown. Wouldn't want to live there, unless I could live in Rock Creek Park! Like most big cities, DC can be very pretty. It also can be pretty ugly and dangerous.
The next time I have the opportunity to use the phrase "rapier wit" I'm going to insert pappenheimer in place of rapier! *snort* It will probably happen to Mr dontcry tonight! Let's hope he's not a grump and says something witty...I may have to set him up...
Oh! Howl! John reminds me why it is NEVER a good idea to neglect my Wordie duties. And this entire thread reminds me how I got hooked in the first place. Yinz are great!
Sometimes, when I've gone round and round on a subject with one of my kids, and there's no end in sight, I'll just say Boutros Boutros-Ghali accompanied by a shoulder shrug, screwed up mouth and eyebrow raise. That usually takes care of it.
I think: "I'm not half the man I used to be" means he's somewhat diminished from his past self -- is disappointed in himself about something.
I think "not half bad" is a bit of a back-handed compliment. It means you're better than I thought, but there's room for improvement. I don't think it means very good or great.
Me too! I just bought 3 more hummingbird feeders and another Yankee Flipper, to the tune of $100. 10 lb bags of niger, sunflower and all purpose bird seeds! We loves our birds!
*changes resolve, yet again, to include all foods except the non-existent white chocolate -- as a protest against accepting white chocolate as a member of the chocolate family of chocolates*
I guess if classy is used as a substitute for classist, then it could have a negative connotation. Otherwise, it is my experience that classy, while possibly going out of style as an adjective, is good! Other oldies, but goodies:
"Pacing: You may or may not feel the impulses -- usually they are not detectable.
Defibrillation: The shock feels like a kick in the chest but only lasts for a moment. Some patients describe the sensation as feeling like a shock from an electrical outlet. Most times, you will be awake when the shock is delivered, but on occasion, you may lose consciousness before the therapy is delivered."
I've always heard it, and used it as baptism by fire. Meaning hitting the ground running -- or starting off on something under the worst possible conditions...
No, no, no, no, no. That's wrong. Tuesday should have waaay more listings than Monday. Why, Sunday and Monday are totally at the bottom of the IWWH,Ev. It's a toss-up as to which one is less interesting.
However, the today, yesterday and tomorrow IWWH,Ev is correct. Tomorrow is slightly more interesting than today and both are way more interesting than yesterday. The only question that remains is where do, the day before yesterday and the day after tomorrow fit in. Hmmm???
I take fake umbrage at your hard line of questioning about my perfectly appropriate and self-explanatory usage of "so forth" in the Interesting Week Words Hierarchy, English version (IWWH Ev). Sheesh!
Mr. dontcry used to swaddle our babies so tight you could slice cheese with them. He would, were he a wordie, take umbrage with loose, amateurish swaddling.
Um... I still "moro" sometimes just as I'm drifting off to sleep. I get the sensation that I'm abut to fall off the bed... Can I take that "6 months OR MORE..." part literally?
Susan Boyle: God bless her! And God bless you, 'nach, for sharing her with me/us all. What a treat! I'll bet she's the life of every party she attends!
Last (and least): I've never seen Simon "Scowl" smile like that in all the too many years I've seen his mug on tv!
Ha! We always call it "East Bumfuck." It's just a surprise funny when you spring it on someone. I think it's especially funny because it starts with 'bum' and ends with 'fuck.' Kind of like the sweet and sour of jokes!
In response to this convo(thanks, Bonnie)I have just taken humongous humbrage (probably much more than I need). That's right, I am an hysterical humbrage hoarder.
John T. Graham -- Very clear. So...you get it! Not everybody does at first. I didn't. No surprise there, of course! Come sit with me on the porch, young man. Check out some of our lists. I have a feeling you'll be staying a while.
I don't either, gangerh... I don't remember adding it. It looks like I need to round up the usual suspects. SOMEbody is going to get the wordie treatment...
Just in case I'm the first person ever to die from fear of being on camera, I just want the record to show that I TOLD YOU SO! And, no, I don't want to talk about it. I just wanted to make a record of it. Thank you.
Oh. That would explain, I guess, the nasty double spurs just behind the knees. I'd love to see someone mount a horse in that get up! Maybe they were lowered into the saddle...
I find it really interesting that almost without exception, around the world, the word for coffee starts with the "k" sound.
Makes me wonder if other common "food" stuff (like milk, bread, meat, etc.) is the same -- not the "k" sound, of course, but a common sound. My extremely limited knowledge of languages tells me, no.
I'd like to communicate with spiders, just once, and preferably by phone or email. I'd like to ask them if they really ARE more afraid of me than I am of them -- 'cause I don't think they are. I don't even think it's a close call.
What about those really, really flat sponges that absorb tons of water without leaking? You could stash a couple of those puppies in your pants and away you go!
John, it does me too! That's what I love about the title. It plays on those two words we all are so familiar with. I think that if I were in the market for a book on how to work through my grief, I'd pick this one off the shelf before one titled "Working Through Your Grief: 20 Easy Steps" (I totally made that up) or something like that. Personally, I don't do grief "good" at all. I very much prefer Charlie Brown's version!
I hate to be difficult, but you're both wrong. The worst song ever in the history of sound and ears is "Jackie Blue" by the Ozark Mountain Daredevils. The people responsible for writing it, recording it, distributing it, and playing it on the radio should be taken into custody and tried for crimes against humanity.
I always think of turnkey and thumbscrew together. That is, whenever I hear turnkey I then think of thumbscrew and vice-versa. Then I almost always remember that actor who had kind of bulging eyes (not Marty Feldman) who wore, in at least one movie, a sackcloth garb, had kind of a Beatles haircut and was somebody's turnkey, thumbscrew, or sidekick. What was his name...?
Cracking a "wordie-insider" joke and laughing at it before realizing that you're the only one at the party who gets it -- then continuing to enjoy it anyway.
"Very sorry to knock you up, Watson," said he, "but it's the common lot this morning. Mrs. Hudson has been knocked up, she retorted upon me, and I on you."
Now, when young ladies wander about the metropolis at this hour of the morning, and knock sleepy people up...I presume it is something very pressing which they have to communicate."
I only remember hearing shanked used when describing a prison stabbing -- usually with a shiv. That's what I heard, anyway. I mean, I have never actually been to prison. Really.
Well, I can't speak for everyone, Kostya, but I certainly will try to take myself a little more seriously. Thanks for setting us straight. I don't know how we managed to have any fun before you arrived.
One afternoon at Cheers, Cliff Clavin was explaining the Buffalo Theory to Norm.Here's how it went:
"Well ya see, Norm, it's like this... A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers."
Each year on Super Bowl Sunday, our church puts out a huge soup kettle in the narthex. Everyone brings their extra change to feed the kettle. The money raised goes to a local soup kitchen or food pantry.
Pleth -- morning? Oh, oh! What are you having? Coffee? Tea? Cocoa? Toast? Are you reading the Sunday paper? Mine's not here yet. Anything I should know? Can you pass the jam?
My favorite-to-watch sports events are the triple crown races. A couple of minutes of edge-of-your-seat-action, then back to the mint juleps, shrimp cocktails and what-have-yous. Perfect sporting events!
This is a seed company where I come from!! Although, now that I think of it, sprouting, planting, weeding, harvesting, canning... that IS a workout! Ha! I wonder if the Burpee folks have thought of this as a side product. "The Burpee Workout: Have the body of a farmer in 30 days -- AND a nice salad to boot!"

dontcry commented on the word not knowing or remembering stuff I think ought to know or remember
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.

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.

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.

The last time I was in Venice -- must have been around 1980 -- we all drank bottled water (we also drank it when I lived in Germany in the early '70's). Bottled water was the ONLY water we drank -- although it was not the bottled water we know today. THESE bottles were large glass ones for serving more than one person at a time. They delivered it by the case to our villa in Vicenza and our haus in Heilbronn.

And, as usual, I tried and tried to imagine it. Is it like the "Swedish Sleep System" that conforms to each (heavenly) body? Or is it more like a really firm cloud? Or maybe like cotton candy...I think I always come to the conclusion that it's kind of a cross between a gas and that beautiful gossamer-like hair on the head of our Christmas Angel who sits atop our tree each year.

dontcry commented on the word treat
There are a lot of definitions for this word. I just happened to notice that two are missing:
Treat: What the termite guy does when he comes to your house the first time to discourage termites from eating your home. Involves spraying a liquid substance around the foundation of your house.
Treat: What the termite guy does when he comes to your house the second time to discourage you from calling him again. Involves spraying several rooms of your home with what ultimately will look like machine gun fire, thus causing said rooms to resemble any of a number of scences from The Godfather -- pick your favorite: the tollbooth, the revolving door, the elevator, the barber shop, the massage parlor, etc..(OR, the car in the last scene from Bonnie & Clyde).
You're welcome.

I don't know.. It's not like a hard "r" that Americans use when they say "Prego" as in the jar sauce. It's almost as if there is a hint of a "d" or "th" sound just before the "r."

I worked in DC for many years -- Georgetown and downtown (K street). I've also toured DC a lot. I've never lived there (I live about 30 or so miles from there), but have visited many friends who do live there. As mass transit systems go, the Metro is a pretty nice one. My take: love touring and eating there. Loved working -- in Georgetown. Wouldn't want to live there, unless I could live in Rock Creek Park! Like most big cities, DC can be very pretty. It also can be pretty ugly and dangerous.

I only remember hearing shanked used when describing a prison stabbing -- usually with a shiv. That's what I heard, anyway. I mean, I have never actually been to prison. Really.

On cupcakes: Maybe they're frosted with icing....or iced with frosting?
On they: always plural (I always thought they wore hats)
On tags: I'm keeping all of my tags. I'm never going to use them again, but I'm not giving them up. I'm a hoarder -- but no longer a horker.

dontcry commented on the word clifford sensible
This 'word' made me think of this:
One afternoon at Cheers, Cliff Clavin was explaining the Buffalo Theory to Norm.Here's how it went:
"Well ya see, Norm, it's like this... A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers."
