  • From Ulysses:

    "Coming from the vegetarian. Only weggebobbles and fruit. Don't eat a beefsteak. If you do the eyes of that cow will pursue you through all eternity. They say it's healthier." (U8.534)

  • Love playing this word in Scrabble...took a Scotsman to know it was a vulgarity. Bless him, I love him :)

  • I love the way the word is spelled, how it feels, and the fact that it reminds me of Louisiana where I grew up.

  • Hello, and thanks, and always good to meet another GbV fan :)

    This is a cool site...I can see losing many hours here over the next few days until I figure it all out.

    Can't believe it took me this long to find your site.

    Hooray! Thanks-

  • I've always liked this word, and a couple of years ago I met this lovely man via MySpace who was a musician and singer in a band called Bionic in the UK (Manchester) in the mid 90s. They never really got lift off, but they were pretty good if you dig New Order, The Wedding Present, and emotionally complex lyrics.

    Anyway, one of his songs featured the lyrics "I feel your rancour," and it struck me that I had never heard that word used in a song. It's a powerful and specific word.
