    Wow, I did not know that! Thanks Jimmy. I guess one learns something new everyday huh? And here I'd been happily assuming it was merest dudespeak.
    Tom, please accept my sincere apology for having doubted your etymological expertise.

    Yeah, I believe it's when your girlfriend (sorry, I meant "one's partner in intimacy") doesn't do it right.

    Since my youngest sister picked this for one of tonight's family films.





    The best best part is when she tries to say it and gives us all a quick look to see if we're laughing at her. We never do. She's only 4.

    Non-words that sound like they should be words......

    I'm not looking for incorrect usage of real words (in other words, NOT "irregardless.")

    emphorate(verb)

    frumblin (noun, not adjective)

    sublige (?)

    cliftron (noun)

    "Onomatopoeia" really is a beauty. Talk about form follows function.


    burke (bɜːk)

    — vb
    1. to murder in such a way as to leave no marks on the body, usually by suffocation
    2. to get rid of, silence, or suppress

    [C19: named after William Burke , executed in Edinburgh for a murder of this type]

    I like the names of the modes: Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian, Locrian.

    Emolument

    Dwight Eisenhower, chief of staff to Douglas MacArthur in the Philippines, was offered $100,000 (about $1 million in today's dollars) and a citation from Philippine President-in-exile Manuel Quezon.

    Eisenhower accepted the citation but declined the emolument.

    MacArthur, however, accepted $500,000 ($5.5 million) in cash from Quezon.
