notanotherjazzpoet commented on the list mary-you-re-i-what-i
I'm definitely with AZ on we're pregnant. Seanahan, just because you infer that Fitzgerald thought most women are dishonest doesn't mean he implied it. And I can think of many, many ways for a married woman to be dishonest besides unfaithfulness. Do you merely jest?

Ah, uselessness, I should certainly have looked for a list like this. I don't think I could ever match The No-No List so I'll just stop after pianist and hopefully people will visit yours. But you should certainly consider peanuts, since it got me in a fair bit of trouble with an environmental group when suggestings names for our financially adopted elephant.
Good heavens, I think I need a poem called Financially Adopted Elephant now.

Pamelad: tired and emotional strike me as just ways people react to drinking more than things they'd call being drunk. But I like paralytic.
Sionnach: Thanks especially for knackered. I kept wanting it for the list, but thinking only of knickered, which I suppose may happen with enough drink...

Good heavens...I know I had more words in mind when I started this. Hopefully they'll come to me.

crypt is a damn cool word. And so's this list. cryptorchid seems such an unlikely word for its meaning.

I can't think of a good addition, but I dig the list.

notanotherjazzpoet commented on the list fun-phobias
Actually, I had chaetophobia as fear of hair, though it's obvious there are frequently duplicate names for one fear I can't imagine anyone having. I will take chirophobia though. Thanks.

I think the first time I get to teach a poetry workshop, I shall call it metrophobia.

This is so fantastically cruel, naming the fear of long words like that. For shame, you phobia namers, for shame.

but because it's "in the middle of a bunch of stuff" I'm going with amid For some reason, among has connotations of similarity across the group in my head, and being not stuff, I'd prefer to be amid it.

This one made no sense to me. But apparently, it goes something like this: http://pregnancy.about.com/cs/pregnancytests/a/rabbittest.htm

Some of us do understand it but still loathe it. I take the harsh route, and fail any paper containing net speak. No questions. No revisions. Just an F. I do warn them, of course.
I've not seen a u in place of you yet.

notanotherjazzpoet commented on the list phobiariffic
I'm afraid, jennarenn, I have to side with seanahan on this one. preggers sounds too much like prego to me, which I've also heard used as a euphemism for pregnant. And I can't think of much worse than being pregnant and being called low grade spaghetti sauce.

notanotherjazzpoet commented on the list it-s-a-man-s-world
about bastard? I often think of it being applied to men rather than women. Although perhaps in view of pamelad's comment, it's perjorative because of the mother's actions.

I am in love with this list. From the title (Bruce Campbell huzzah!) to the words, er phrases I guess, to the comments. Though I admit to reading HP because I 1)wanted to see what all the fuss was about and 2)wanted to make sure I didn't lose students by having no idea about them (seriously, HP's been used in three of my 24 college freshmen students' papers so far). I also admit to reading LotR at least once a year. I started them in 7th grade then gave up, but picked them up again when the hype about the movies began.

I suppose it's not terribly Boston-related, but my friend from Bahstin says beer and bear both as beeyah, which makes parties at houses in the woods of the Pacific Northwest an interesting excursion.

Nice list. I think orally they're normally pluralized, right?

notanotherjazzpoet commented on the word condom
As in, "My Grandma just bought a condom in the city!" It's not an entirely unreasonable abbreviation for condominium.

notanotherjazzpoet commented on the word bones
I called chicken (as in the prepared poultry, not the living creature) bones as a kid. It is obvious why, right?
Feb 19, 2007
notanotherjazzpoet commented on the list cloud-words
I'd not heard of them. Seems it's a much more appealing term for altocumulus standing lenticularis.
I have to admit, I'm not particularly meteorologically inclined. I just love the sound of some of these words and wanted a proper home for scud.

notanotherjazzpoet commented on the word prosey
prose poetry isn't the same as prosey poetry. One means the poet has chosen to do away with lineation; the other means the poet's not practicing the economy with words common to poetry.
That's only my opinion, though.

a criticism. To a prose writer, not so much.

about penguin as a church word. Fun list though. Love flying buttresses. Can you have a buttress that does not fly? Is that where penguins come in?

Bad guys get such great names! Nice list!

notanotherjazzpoet commented on the word fucknugget
I like this word for its similarity to fussbudget but it's much more scathing nature. It also reminds me of Cake's Fashion Nugget which predominantly features the word fuck.

Indeed, nice list. How about veridian? There are so many beautiful names for colors.

It would be interesting to try and discern which of these were nouns first and which verbs . . . without cheating and using a history of etymology, of course.

notanotherjazzpoet commented on the word office
I hereby declare that office remains on my Verbed! list only as an example of the travesty of modern advertising's fascination with faux neologisms.
Feb 9, 2007
notanotherjazzpoet commented on the list verbed-2
I'm guessing "to office" speaks to a populace unfamiliar with Wordie and disinclined to be familiar should they somehow make its acquaintance.
Also, I'm a huge Bucky fan.
And finally, excellent Calvin & Hobbes quote! I've quite enjoyed the splashes of them lighting up the recent comments and citations feature.
