NormF Posted June 3, 2005 Posted June 3, 2005 Nico, I've been known to be a bit of a bodger, but am I really that fiendish about it? Your wonky, whomper-jawed wordsmith, Norm Quote Debile fundamentum, fallit opus. - "Where there is a weak foundation, the work falls."
Fran Posted June 4, 2005 Posted June 4, 2005 Well, Norm, a wordsmith I am not! That has to be the list of word kids have to study for spelling bees! I got to the "B's" and found the depth of my vocabulary was bankrupt! It figures that a dictionary is needed here for me. Usually Nico sends me to the dictionary. Wonder how many of these words she created! I find Nico's words much more challenging. Thanks Nico for the site info. Quote The greatest want of the world is the want of men who will not be bought or sold, men who in their inmost souls are true & honest, men who do not fear to call sin by its right name, men whose conscience is as true to duty..., men who will stand for the right though the heavens fall.{Ed 57.3}
Moderators Gregory Matthews Posted June 4, 2005 Moderators Posted June 4, 2005 I happen to like the word "Irish bull". I will give you an example of an Irish bull: "If you do not attend my funeral, I will not attend yours." The above statement, my friends, is an Irish bull. It is listed in some dictionaries, but not others. Quote Gregory
NormF Posted June 5, 2005 Posted June 5, 2005 Can you get there from here? Sounds a lot like Timbuctu. Quote Debile fundamentum, fallit opus. - "Where there is a weak foundation, the work falls."
