Jim was funning with us here.
But it's great to have you back. Now get into the panto GTG thread, stat. Except I have a worry I might be seeing JB without you this year, hon. Due to Pilau's situation... Back to language, I confused emancipated with emaciated as a teen. Not that much of a strecth when writing about slaves. Still have to stop and think about hubris and gravitas. I blame The League of Gentlemen and Ian M Banks. It helps.

Ach, I know Jim was just avin a laff, but what you said in your response set off one of my regular bugbears :p *fingers crossed* Pil's doin ok. New meds working a treat. Still a very frail (and timorous?) wee beastie, but enjoying food and walks. I have high hopes I'll be there at least for the one night!

I find four letter words work very well in some applications. Much more so than any other number of letters.
Some people are just too fucking dumb for words and you have to use little one to explain just exactly what sort of a moron they are.

Don't try using the word "niggardly". Talk about getting in trouble....

I use mitigate.
Lojack will most likely mitigate some of it's own cost with the discount you'll receive on your insurance premium....

A city planner told me they would have to cut down 7 old-growth (~150 yr) Douglas Firs
along our property line for a new light rail line. "But," she said sweetly, "The City would mitigate them by planting 7 new seedlings elsewhere on our property" Mitigate ? In my life time ? Yeah sure, that'll work. |

I like "disingenuous" - a polite word with a pointed tip

"It". Sounds like "git" without the "g".

One should frequently cultivate obfuscatory sesquipedelian circumlocutions.

The editor of our local paper has a bumper sticker that says: Eschew Obfuscation
