Okay, I'm in the house now, sort of. Man, I missed a lot so far today! VPM: also behave yourself. And stop making popcorn. If the boys are having a fight we need jelly to throw on them. ;D  But I like popcorn.  Besides, I don't think I've heard the jelly reference before. I'm more used to hearing the "turning the hose on them" reference or the "being sent to the showers" reference. I haven't had much energy to keep up my end of the 'conversation' lately (being affected by a weird maylaise and fatigue the last couple of days. ) So, I'm just trying to keep up with the interesting flow of conversation as this is one of my favorite threads lately. Wouldn't the world be a dull place if everyone was the same age?  The world is a plethora of interesting possibilities adding spice to our lives. VPM |

Never heard of the jelly thing either. And shes gone now so we can't ask her. Mind you sounds kinky to me. The world is a plethora of interesting possibilities adding spice to our lives. "plethora" that's a very big word for someone who's sick. |

Ubiquitous is fun, but I like obsequious. And rutabega...that one never fails to crack me up ;D

I like plinth. I feel like just leaving it at that makes me look like a retard, but I really don't have all that much useful to add *sigh*

All good words, gents! Worth at least 50 cents each because they're not used in regular conversation often.
(I actually had to look obsequious and plinth up to refresh my memory on what they meant. I'm not in an arena where I can use such words on a daily basis-they're kind of wasted on my 2 yr old!- so I tend to forget their meanings.)

But VPM, it's fun to use them with kids. My 7-year old son will usually just act like he knows what I'm saying. Occasionally he'll ask what it means, but usually he just gives a "knowing" nod.
My current favorite word is nincompoop.

My current favorite word is nincompoop. My five year old tries to say that as well, but it always comes out as "knickerpoop", which has us in stiches. |

Your 5-year old may have just invented a new word.
Knickerpoop - noun. The excrement found in knickers during the potty-training period of a child's life.

And the stickiness only provides a better excuse to turn on the hose afterwards...I should stop. I really, really should. I like plinth. I feel like just leaving it at that makes me look like a retard, but I really don't have all that much useful to add *sigh* Poor Crash, are you having a downer? Stop beating yourself up already. *hugs, which is default response* Eeewww . Thanks for the visual, Cally Yeah, a little OTT there…my favourite word is superlative, just to keep up with the current drift of conversation. |

Poor Crash, are you having a downer? Stop beating yourself up already. *hugs, which is default response* Me? Nah. I just needed to add something else, so I didn't look like a spanner by just posting 'I like plinth' which to my mind looks far too much like 'I love lamp'. All I could think of to add was how I didn't have anything to add, which may be a paradox, but hopefully won't destroy the world. *hugs back* |

*taps your avatar and raises eyebrow meaningfully* Sorry Crash. *hangs head in shame* I haven't had time yet. Too much calculus stuff. I also have a banner to make for WHA, but that'll have to wait until I'm back on my laptop...college computers suck and also have no decent graphics software.  |
