[Kyanimal]

eJ!

AWESOME List!

I'll certainly take you up on that earlier offer of sending me a guy! I'll teach him what I know (shouldn't take too long), send him into "The Kingdom", and then I'll have the time to check out all of your links!

Keep smilin'!!

Oi Paddles,

One day Early..........remember this is still the USA...

I do it out of respect for our friends closer to the date line. Why should they have to wait for the USA?

Be nice, or I'll have to have my guys do terrible things to the blond horsey I bought today. I spent 20 minutes looking for a blond one.

Thank you for the very appropriate post.

Today, I have an excerpt from 75 Contronyms (Words with Contradictory Meanings) from one of my "Daily Writing Tips" emails. They say:

The English language includes an interesting category of words and phrases called contronyms (also spelled contranyms, or referred to as autoantonyms) — terms that, depending on context, can have opposite or contradictory meanings...

I picked 13 words and phrases you might find on JUB.

1. Bolt: To secure, or to flee
2. Bound: Heading to a destination, or restrained from movement
3. Buckle: To connect, or to break or collapse
4. Custom: A common practice, or a special treatment
5. Fine: Excellent, or acceptable or good enough

6. Finished: Completed, or ended or destroyed

7. Give out: To provide, or to stop because of a lack of supply
8. Hold up: To support, or to impede

9. Model: An exemplar, or a copy

10. Put out: Extinguish, or generate
11. Rent: To purchase use of something, or to sell use
12. Rock: An immobile mass of stone or figuratively similar phenomenon, or a shaking or unsettling movement or action
13. Variety: A particular type, or many types

We the Jury are a bit PUT OUT by

you RENTING the very fabric of

being an Iconic MODEL. Do you

expect us to just BEAR with it?

No. you BUCKLE down and produce

or we will ROCK you financially with

an onerous FINE.

 

[EJMichaels]

Did someone ask for produce?

^ Love the pear *struggles to come up with a suitable pear/pair joke*

Interesting and informative post, as always The rest of the website looks to be similarly so and will no doubt prove to be very useful However, isn't the English language so confusing?

 

[EJMichaels]

Thanks! Also on the full list were words that differed in US and UK usage, but I didn't want to get started on that.

Ooh...just found a picture that looks like the pear:

And this one needs a caption, I think.

BTW, did the name of this forum change, or am I remembering incorrectly?

Here is another word for you EJ. It can have several meanings depending on context. The word is "bow."

 

[redfox70]

[Lefty]

will you quit being so mean if I put

my lesbian back in the closet?

 

[EJMichaels]

Mean? Was someone mean? I'm all in favor of lesbians...

 

[Lefty]

Smokes heavy, drinks heavy tries to drown in spa. forgot it had

been drained for maintenance, slips and naked body lands exposed

to the elements.........
