well..nouns can be adjectives, like “a circus clown”
so i suppose adjectives can be nouns, its only fair.
blinky:
ajar:
adjective
(esp of a door or window) slightly open
Since this is Popa’s thread, and since it seems to be a catch-all, I would like to publicly thank him and one of the mods for reminding me to change my baby’s diaper.
That subtitle says it all.
I don’t get it. Popa’s subtitle says: Sometimes a Bit Over the Top. (And occasionally WAY over.)
Is that what got you to change your baby’s diaper? (Me? I use my nose – earlier detection!)
Zees:
1. allergy season- no sense of smell
2. diapers of nursing babies don’t smell much
mod- I am laughing from your posts on this thread… thank you
mod 80- I know what ajar means! And i said use omega 3 (FISH oil) to close it shut!!:)
sorry blinky
i thought you didnt understand, and thought maybe imbibing omega-3 oil would improve your cognition.
The term cognition (Latin: cognoscere, “to know”, “to conceptualize” or “to recognize”) refers to a faculty for the processing of information, applying knowledge, and changing preferences.
Mod.- I needed to use all the omega 3 in my brain to understand your post! Such high vocabulary!
Mod 80,
To defend Derech HaMelech:
When “fish” is appended to “salmon”, it’s redundant, because what else could it refer to other than fish! When “fish” is appended to “tuna”, it’s not redundant, because if you don’t specify “fish”, it might refer to a bagel.
good try but your defense is flawed. there is a salmon blouse, or a salmon sweater, or salmon walls, etc. salmon is a color. so the fish aspect needs to be specified as much as the fish aspect of tuna.
Here in Israel they do append ‘fish’ to tuna, salmon and most other fish. After living here a while, one’s English does get affected.
mod 80- I still remember being a little kid and hearing someone tell my mother that she bought a salmon sweater. i thought she was nuts for wanting to smell like fish all day!
adorable
yes you were confused
a salmon sweater is what people buy for their pet salmon in their backyard ponds during the winter. it can be any color
no she meant a salmon colored sweater
lol!
(and blinky, i understood what you meant with the omega 3) 🙂
why would she buy a salmon colored sweater for a salmon? it would be difficult to tell if the salmon was wearing it or not. i would buy a black sweater for my salmon if a had a salmon pet. i just have goldfish. i dont think they make sweaters for goldfish.
🙂
good try but your defense is flawed.
That’s what happens when I work pro bono.
My defense would have worked if he had said something like “I ate a tuna fish”.
Most people I know don’t eat sweaters, even if they smell like fish.

im saving this.
if i ever get interviewed for a background check on you, ill just say: “read this post and decide for yourself.”

If you would ever be interviewed for a background check on me, I’d be in trouble anyway.
you are in trouble already but dont worry so are we all! they know who we are but we have no way of knowing who they are! pretty freaky when you think about it
adorable, can you move a little to the right. im having trouble seeing you.
adorable, can you move a little to the right.
There are many other posters here who are much more in need of a move to the right.
you freak me out!!!!!!!!
i know, i see that
umm, i mean in a metaphorical sense.
just wondering…when you talk to someone in person do you also use such high vocabulary words?!?!?!?
adorable im having difficulty deciphering your primitive language.
MOD- please use the dictionary that I use. Or provide us with yours
MOD 80:
I believe Dr. Middos on his Middos Machine had a ‘Googlator’
Try it.
i dont use dictionaries, how quaint.
although the merriam-webster people do consult with me on occasion.
they should not ask u because no one understands u! they have to ask a commoner!!!!
If you are at work, and the demands of the job are such that you can just gaze at the boats, then perhaps you could be learning during the gaze-break, and the boat is indeed your soton.
I think in this rainy weather we are all seeing boats :). Some roads are so flooded, the cars look like they float.
I saw a boat today.
Its incredible how some conversations start.. there r 2 pages on this thread..
lol when reading this page!
actually, i speak differently depending to whom i’m talking to. does anyone else?
i think it’s like bilingual kids – who switch easily from one language to the next, depending on whom they’re talking with.
popa- good job! i would never think this thread would make it to the end of 2 pages.
I think it brings the Mods from E”Y here for some training and then takes them right back.
it was probably the flying dutchman
I saw a boat the other day.
I saw a moat the other day.
I did not see a boat in a moat the other day.
