    Some random thoughts....

    Some of my favorite words-

    Supercilious it describes you if you know its meaning.........
    onomatopoeia there has not been a lot of buzz lately about this word but I like it anyway.......

    A quick story about words......

    Two aspiring poets were discussing poetry with Robert Frost (it may have been e.e. cummings) and he asked them why they wanted to be poets. The first one said "I love words" the second one said "I have something to say". Frost (or cummings) turned to the first one and said "You will be the poet".

    Lastly and totally unrelated to the topic........

    Disc golf was mentioned awhile back and I am proud to say the disc golf course on campus is where I misspent alot of my youth. I still have a lot of my old discs and bring them out at least once a year to play in the Va State Frisbee Tournament.

    A great sport and a great way to spend some time outside with friends........All AR disc golfers are cordially invited to come on down to F-Burg Va April 18-20th and joins us at Pratt Park to catch some rays and throw some ZZZZZZZZZZ's

    Dude!!, I love that word...not so much in a passive, etymological way but in that very active, "slam","crash","buzz" kinda way.

    Maybe it might be good if from this point on, we include definitions. Auric, I had to look each one up, and then my browser crashed (that's what I get for doing this on my Windows computer at work - I should have been working....).

    Copremesis - the vomiting of fecal matter.

    Man! I made a computer crash! Think I oughta buy a cape? Rent a phone booth? Get some x-ray glasses....

    Ajani, I didn't need to read that one twice. Actually, I think it was on that word that my computer crashed....

    Anyhow, SB asked for fun words, and I can't see how that... oh, I don't even want to go there.

    Sticks

    If you really like the word onomatopoeia check out the Todd Rungren song titled "onomatopoeia". I think it is on the "Hermit of Mink Hollow" album

    I just HAVE to ask. How does one get to the point of vomiting fecal matter? I mean, does it happen often enough to justify that it needs it's own word? Is this a legitimate medical condition or just a fetish? :shocked:

    Imagine the breath this person would have.

    Would you like a tic tac? No really. Take the whole package. Stand over there. I'll throw it to you.:shocked:

    Definitely not a fetish... It's a really messed up medical condition... Just consider how embarrassed some people feel over a nose bleed... now imagine coughing up...ummm... yeah... :shocked:
