Subject: RE: BS: From: gnu Date: 07 Jul 01 - 05:16 AM Okay, I looked it up, too. My Webster's Ninth New Collegiate... morbid adj [L morbidus diseased, fr. morbus disease; akin to Gk marainine to waste away - more at SMART] (1656) 1 a : of, relating to, or characteristic of disease (~ anatomy) b: affected with or induced by disease (a ~ condition) c : productive of disease (~ substances) 2 : abnormally susceptible to or characterized by gloomy or unwholesome feelings 3: GRISLY, GRUESOME (~ details) (curiosity) From whence I support death and grotesque. HOWEVER, you coined it, so you define it. Mine was merely a suggestion of a possible interpretation. In any case, I thought it was kewl. |
Subject: RE: BS: From: CarolC Date: 06 Jul 01 - 11:55 PM All right! Dictionary time!

Subject: RE: BS: From: Amos Date: 06 Jul 01 - 11:10 PM Morbid Ennui would be a sort of lethal obsession with boring ideas, wouldn't it? Such as "how many posts can fit into a nameless thread?" I never thought I'd see the day when someone decided to test it out!!! A |

Subject: RE: BS: From: RangerSteve Date: 06 Jul 01 - 10:30 PM CarolC - if I ever start a rock band, can I call it Morbid Ennui? It's a great name. |
Subject: RE: BS: From: Joe Offer Date: 06 Jul 01 - 08:10 PM Yes, and that's why Mudcat has such a splendid reputation as a folk music discussion forum.... I know it's nice to have fun, but could it be that the fun is getting a bit airheaded lately? Thank you, Bill D, for bringing up the subject of music. -Joe Offer- |
Subject: RE: BS: From: Little Hawk Date: 06 Jul 01 - 07:43 PM Yes, it's really a splendid concept, isn't it? - LH |

Subject: RE: BS: From: UB Ed Date: 06 Jul 01 - 03:55 PM I'm sure she's correct. I'm just not sure what she's saying! |
Subject: RE: BS: From: Don Firth Date: 06 Jul 01 - 03:55 PM I get it now!! It's an all-inclusive editorial comment!! Well said, Ed!! |
Subject: RE: BS: From: MMario Date: 06 Jul 01 - 03:45 PM morbid ennui would be correct wouldn't it? I mean - moribund ennui might be questionable, but I should think that morbid ennui would be a correct construction. |
Subject: RE: BS: From: UB Ed Date: 06 Jul 01 - 03:41 PM Morbid ennui? I'm going for the dictionary! (LOL) |
Subject: RE: BS:limericks anonymous From: CarolC Date: 06 Jul 01 - 03:36 PM There once was a thread with no heading And not such a bad one, I'm betting But its morbid ennui Caused the posters to flee Now it's nothing but used hamster bedding |

Subject: RE: BS: From: UB Ed Date: 06 Jul 01 - 02:36 PM This was actually a suggested topic... |
Subject: RE: BS: From: wysiwyg Date: 06 Jul 01 - 02:26 PM .. to the deaf mute, who replied, "Yes, I agree." I like it, as a concept. The first disposable good-for-one-day-only BS thread. Discuss any BS you wish, no need for a topic. Today I am thinking about the BS way the discernment process works in our diocese. (Idiots!) ~Susan ~S~ |
Subject: RE: BS: From: MMario Date: 06 Jul 01 - 02:23 PM Reduces it to the essence, yes? To expound further would like gilding a lily, sending ice to Alaska, or Coal to Newcastle. |
