Words you have to look up in the dictionary, EVERY time... (todd)

[Félix]

It was grey.

[Phil]

I would not live anywhere with an ambient temperature below 30 F.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I started thinking this summer I may need to move somewhere where it never gets above 80.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

So a Jew for Jesus had stolen it, not your BIL. Did they ever catch the guy?

[Félix]

No, it was my brother-in-law. He was hanging out with a bunch of JFJs.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I was just joking. Did they arrest your BIL?

[Janice]

I wanted to write "I organized it this way for my own edification."

Then I looked up "edification":
1. improvement, instruction, or enlightenment, esp when morally or spiritually uplifting
2. the act of edifying or state of being edified

It sounded right until I looked at the definition. I changed it to "purposes".

[Natalie]

The word necessary always tripped me up . And yes I just now looked it up before typing it here . LOL !

[Phil]

I'm sure that was neccesary necesary necessery prudent.

[aPriL does feral sometimes]

all of the philosophy words

[Will]

"Nonplussed."

It means exactly the opposite of what I always think it means.

Todd

[Kevin]

i always thought nonplussed meant the same as subtracted

[Félix]

Subtracted is the same as underrated?

[Phil]

Underrated means it got a PG-13 when it should have been an R?

[aPriL does feral sometimes]

Kevin, Larry, Phil - no underrating you guys ever again.....

[Will]

I'm nonplussed by the above string.

I think.

Todd

[Phil]

Will wrote: "I think."

Therefore you am?

[Gertie]

I don't know, that is a little confusing, isn't it?

- Clara

[Phil]

I'd say so!

- Steve

[Jim]

Glad it's not me either!

Barney

[Sally, la reina]

Stop calling me Shirley!

Roger

[Gertie]

Okay, this thread just provoked a genuine LOL out of me. Usually it's LOL bullshit. Thanks everyone.

Clara

[janine]

(T)odd.

Marge

[Will]

Yikes! Sorry about the confusion. Here's an explanation:

My pen name is "Will Todd", so Goodreads automatically lists my posts as written "by Will". Since I have an "Author Profile", I can't change this.

However, my real first name is Todd, so that's the way I sign my posts.

It also happens to tie in to playing around with The Truth, which is one of the themes of my first eBook.

In any case, you "Terminal Coffee" folks are the the only group to notice so far - kudos!

Nonplussed again,

Todd

P.S. @janine: You probably don't realize this, but the moniker "(t)odd" is something else I used in my first eBook. Double kudos to you!

[Félix]

Félix, here. Hey everyone. What's up?

[Phil]

Felicitous Félix facilitates friendship, free of fisticuffs.

[janine]

No one likes fisticuffs anyway.

[Félix]

Popeye does.

[janine]

Popeye no existe.

[Sally, la reina]

I have a hard time with embarrassing. It seems like a lot of double letters, like vaccuummiing.

[Janice]

I have a problem with occurred as well.

[Kevin]

mine comment was meant to be a sort of joke. either didn't work or wasn't funny :)

[aPriL does feral sometimes]

Vacuuming only has one c.

Is it a shining c?

[Sally, la reina]

Goodreads tells me that threads have twenty-some-odd new posts but when I arrive it is never that many.

Yeah, it's under discussion in Feedback group. No staff over the weekend to fix it, though.

[janine]

I hate when people fuck everything up.
