  • blafferty I would like a verb for "to begin to speak." May 2, 2011

  • hobbyhorse Neigh. May 2, 2011

  • sionnach Oh, you see that's just plain silly. It's quite sufficient to have the verb "to neigh"; there's no conceivable reason to have a special verb for starting the process. One can just say "Gluebones cleared his horsey throat, because he was feeling a bit catarrhy ...." May 2, 2011

  • hernesheir To begin to neigh. - an old provincial term from the south of England. May 2, 2011

  • mollusque She could borrow, perhaps, his old sedan though he might not like the notion (pointing to a nondescript youth who was waiting for her on the sidewalk). He had just bought a heavenly Hummer to go places with her.
    --Vladimir Nabokov, 1974, Look at the Harlequins!‎ p. 138 Jun 13, 2009

  • john "His rock origins and lack of classical training raised doubts at the start; some established composers considered him a 'hummer'—Hollywood slang for a would-be composer who can’t read music and relies on ghostwriters. (Charlie Chaplin was a hummer.)"

    The New Yorker, Oscar Scores, by Alex Ross, March 9, 1998 Apr 28, 2008

  • seanahan Also, ..., well, never mind. Jan 1, 2008

  • yarb Also, a hickey. Jan 1, 2008

  • sionnach I didn't realize that Hummers were now sufficiently advanced to be able to fly as well. I shall dash right out and buy one. And I shall call it Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang. It will be my fine four-fendered friend. And I will stock it with toot sweets. Jan 1, 2008
