Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads
I didn't say I was an agwinist, silly Bookmanne. I said I was a gwine, which is an entirely different word from an entirely different root, viz., Indo-European gjinn, noun, "an act of heroism or accomplishment of such magnitude as to appear mystic or magical in its origins". I come from a long line of such acts.
Teaching your grandmother to suck eggs is an exercise in futility, mon vieux.
