I can't believe I wasn't referenced on this! I am outraged! Nobody porches like me. I have two porches which often host porching events simultaneously! I have been porching for decades. My ferns, wicker, swings, rockers, and cucumber sandwiches are LORE. Are you kidding me? wordspy - it is on!
As we all know -- I'm not a computer...um... person. I wanted to add a new word to one of my lists and I can't even get to my own page! I don't see a way to my own page -- with my own lists. Am I gone? That would be a shame as I made up an awesome word today and I wanted to share it with my wordies... *wah*
I'm agreed with deinony - I think bread can be pre-toastified, post-toastified, and even re-toastified, but it can not be de-toastified. Kind of like un-ringing a bell. Or unbutterfying a cat.
I think the real question here is: if you defenestrate a buttered cat, will anyone care.
Here's some more Johnson noise from dontcry (since I can't seem to post from my profile page anymore): I haven't visited wordie-nik for quite a while as my experiences have become less and less satisfying. It seems, now, that all of my pronunciatins have been wiped out... Ciao from The Porch, baby. Thanks for the memories!
In my experience (every night for 30 years) the Johnson noise sounds more like a mooing cow being put through a chipper. Not to put too fine a point on it. See snorifice.
From the "beating a dead horse" department: I clicked on quinoa in the 'recently pronounced' section and actually heard it pronounced! Yay! I then clicked on the next word and -- nothing. I then re-clicked on quinoa and -- nothing.
I have not been here for quite a while. I find it so tedious to wait for pages to load that I lose interest. FYI from dontcry.
While we're focused on the pronunciation situation... it might be handy if, when you clicked on a word in 'Recent pronunciations,' you were taken to the bottom of the page - where the *pronunciations* are - will be. *flops back on porch swing*
When I click on the arrow in the pronunciations section of each word's page, I hear no pronunciation -it just bumps me up to the very top of the page. And I'm only clicking on words listed in the most pronunciated section on the *community* page. I have no trouble hearing anything else on my computer...
I can't hear any pronunciations... Am I doing something wrong? Should I start pointing fingers around the house? Mr dontcry is still a little sore about the whole marmite experience... so he's suspect numero uno...
I think the value has to include a sustainability quotient. If the goat is a lactating female, you've got a bit more of a fair fight on your hands. If you've purchased a tiny nub of goat cheese recently, you get my drift.
I'm going to start adding 'trix' to the end of random words to see how long it takes mr dontcry to figure it out. And here I thought another weekend on the sofa with leg propped up was going to be a drag. If I only had some marmite...
I tried to put something together with the Governator and how things always come full circle...but I made a big mass of it and then my mind went blank.
Pro - You know me - I'm on just a regular old pc at home - no fancy pads or pods or books, or whatevers... Anyhoo, on my 'puter, the "t's" (in the font used for text above the comments section) have little blobs on their bottoms. Looks like a premature period, a bit too low and to the left.
This thread is symbolic of why *beats self on chest* I should never, ever, go a day, *sniff* and certainly never a day & a half...without checking in on my wordies.
*scarfs down ampersand topped fuflun whilst swinging on porch* *stashes extra ampersands for later behind hydrangeas*
I don't know. I've staked plenty a vegetable plant, in which case I was both the stakeholder and the stakedriver. Stakes keep thos 'maters from a rottin' on the ground...
Yes! Thank you frog! I tried to google -- but I'm not the best at that. Bear, it makes me feel good that you remember it as well. There was just something so...primordial...for lack of a better term, about that. The writing for that show was...just tits.
I was a faitful M*A*S*H* fan. One scene that, for some unknown reason, always stuck with me took place in the Swamp. BJ was washing a pair of socks. Hawkeye asked BJ why he kept washing the socks as he never wore them. BJ answered something like: "If I wear them they will get ruined, but if I just keep washing them, they'll stay nice forever." I always thought that was so poignant. Nobody I know can recall that scene, but it always is the first one I think of when the topic of M*A*S*H* comes up.
I've always thought socks superior to shoes in the traction department. A walk across the kitchen floor in your socks when someone has just opened an ice cube tray is exhibit one.
Yes. It's the day before Lent begins, so you use up your indulgent pantry items (sugar, butter, lard, honey, etc.) most often used in baked goods, to feast before the Lenten Season begins.
Um, when I tried to sign in today - wordnik didn't remember me. Then, when I logged in manually, it froze up - twice. This is not happiness to see me... Me.
