(Yes, apparently the original quote was "encyclopaedia" and not dictionary, but the quoted version is the one I first came across).
or would it be mallard like?
You asked me what they meant...so I looked them up....why would that be dullard.
Don't be so *cough* stuffy!
I gave the (a) definition of dullard, and asked what else you looked up.
I.e. if those two words were ALL you looked at then...
On a different note: this video
reminds me intensely of a pop(?) song. I'm sure there's one that starts off with very much that sound and rhythm. Any ideas what it is I'm thinking of?
Edit: turns it's (of all things!) the Ping Pong song (Do You Know?) by Enrique Iglesias...
I have this REALLY REALLY BAD habit of looking up words I haven't seen before. I have a decent vocabulary, but alas....I lack in having memorized the dictionary. Please forgive me.....and I want those green feathers....*pluck, pluck
The song kind of reminds me of My Sharona - The Knack Official Video - YouTube
don't worry....I even know music songs from the 1700's....
Even this one...
and question...I wanted my line to read Resident Theatre Whore (theatre whore is a word used in theatre to describe people like me, but might be offensive to the moderator or others...any thoughts?
ok here is the "song" *L*
John Denver live - You Done Stomped On My Heart (1969, Trio With Erich Zwertschek & John Marlowe) - YouTube

I have a new word - which I have just discovered!
I was watching TV and there was a map of Dorset in England.
I noticed a place called Briantspuddle (which, on it's own, made me chuckle).
I then wondered: "Is spuddle a real word?" - and it is!
Spuddle:
Verb
To make a lot of fuss about trivial things, as if they were important.
Clownicide
The killing of clowns, lol.
![]()
Due to Coulrophobia?
P.S. I'm not sure that clownicide is an accepted English word - but if we use it enough, it will become one.
{abe}
Is Coolbrophobia a fear of black clowns?
Wow, your mind works in strange ways.
My first assumption, borne out on checking 1, was that it's derived from Briant's Puddle.
1 It's near Affpuddle and a couple of other -puddles. In the Piddle Valley, of all things - presumably there's a Piddle/ Puddle cognate somewhere in there.
Hence my assumption of cognates.![]()

Of all that manly stuff, how did the crocheted LambChop toilet paper holder get in there?
I wouldn't say never, but very rarely.
You're kidding, right?How often do you ever reference an old magazine? I'm betting not very often.
That's WHY that pile is there - something at hand to read.
If I got rid of them I wouldn't have them for future reference. Duh!The best way to cure the pack rat syndrome is to move a few times.![]()
Ok - now for a work related word:

I think most people can relate to this word.
Hater:
One who either verbally and/or physically inhibits another individual's game or mode of operation primarily due to jealousy, envy, animosity, bitterness, resentment, and contempt. A hater will exibit either one or all of the aformentioned traits. A hater will usually smile in your face and hate behind your back.
Experminators would have worked so much better with a picture of Dr Who hair straighteners.
I don't find it in myself to hate anyone. I may have an extreme dislike, but not hate.
Hate isn't healthy, anyhow. Nor is anger that you keep with you. It eats you.
No time for it. If I get mad, I get mad. Then I'm over it. ....ok ok ok...well husband pissed me off and he has now had 24 hours of silence from me. That is the worse punishment for him. Tomorrow I will warm up. He got the message.
