words

There are lots of things to like or dislike about words. The meaning, the associated contexts, the sounds like factor, the physical motion of pronouncing it all come into play

To expand, I like this word. I like the way it sounds and the way it feels to say it. The general medical meaning is less fun, but I didn't even know that till I looked it up to post.

I think it suitably describes a real feeling/scenario better than the general terms in regular use. Someone looking overly upset, like they're about to have a hemmorage, I guess, usually over something that everyone else thinks isn't such a big deal. I thought that added to the entertainment value of the word in this context ;) Tongue in cheek.

I think it's neat that you stopped and pulled an infantessimal slice of life out and examined it under the microscope. Lots of context hanging off of that which isn't visible, I'm sure, but neat to see how you think about it. I think "dinner" is a flat word, like ginger-ale that's been left out.

Some people miss points, I dodge them

How do you feel about 'diner'?

[deltaepsilon]

I'm confused? Whats wrong with"dinner" that "supper" is so much better?

Also, pop or soda ;)

The reasons are too long and convoluted to list, but the the second my answer is simple: Soft Drinks. Quebec, baby, I am from Quebec.

Oh man, was this about me and the itinerary? If it was... sorry, i wasn't aware that you were sensitive towards the word.

I noticed you changed it though :)

It's dinner, madam. It's always been dinner. I knew it drove you nuts every time, too.

But the opposite irks me, so I suppose we should both suffer.
