13 Jan 05 - 08:02 PM (#1378628) Subject: RE: BS: New Definitions From: McGrath of Harlow Here is the online version of that invaluable text, The Meaning of Liff: "...there are many hundreds of common experiences, feelings, situations and even objects which we all know and recognize, but for which no words exist. On the other hand, the world is littererd with thousands of spare words which spend their time doing nothing but loafing about on signposts pointing at places..." |

07 Apr 05 - 01:53 PM (#1454587) Subject: RE: BS: New Definitions From: GUEST,saulgoldie What again is the NYCFTTS, or something like that. I think it has something to do with Neil Young and the "terminally screwed"?? Also, what are or is "whelks"? We should have some place where all these "Mudcat pearls" reside so that people can find them. Perhaps a permanent thread of definitions? Perhaps this one? Or perhaps my take on this thread is off-target? I'll shut up, now. Thanks for any help. |
