I last heard of frotteurism (more a sexual fetish than an illness,
like stealing underwear or compulsive toe-sucking) back in 77 when
a couple my flatmate knew were working through The A-Z Dictionary of
Sexual Perversions.  They had just got to F and were spending all their
time on the underground, pretending not to know each other, and wandering
up to each other and rubbing their bodies together erotically...

I would imagine they've finished the book by now.  Wonder what the did for X.

Although I haven't heard it in recent years, the term

COYOTE would qualify as a "professional woman's organization."

Comments: To: words-l@uga.cc.uga.edu

You guys w/ your script files and com ports...I only ever use one
com port, because that's all I have.  And I hate writing script files,
so I never get around to doing it for procomm.  And besides which,
I only ever dial into school.

But ironically, I was just wondering if a script file would solve
my problem.  And I have to give the law student some credit...the
problem was w/ the command suffix, not the command prefix.  For
some reason, I need a carriage return after ;.  I don't know why,
but I tried to track down the difference between dialing automatically
and dialing from Brute Force mode, and that was the only difference,
and it worked.

HURRAY!!!!

On the down side, the modem failed the Remote Digital Loopback
Test w/ Self-Test.  But I don't know what that means either!!!!!

Now I can go do work w/ a clear conscience!!!!  I'm so thrilled.
If only my new computer hadn't got lost by Federal Express or the
insurance company would reimburse me, then my life would be complete.

For some reason, interference is less today than yesterday. I can
watch ST:TNG at the same time I tell Natalie that the stuff they
sell at Walmart to get the pink out of your clothes is called Runaway
or Runsaway--something like that.  It's meant for white clothes only
and costs about $3.  I've never tried it, so this isn't a recommenda-
tion.

Thanks for helping me think about my dumb problem.  (Which is coped
with but not solved, of course. But isn't that life?!)

It may be British Army idiom, but it's not used in sport parachuting.
It usually provokes rolled eyes when said by a whuffo on a drop zone.
Usually the sort of person who brings it up turns out to have come
out just to try to hear as many gory details of some ancient accident
as possible.  I speculate that some old movie used the phrase, and
it caught on among the non-jumping public from there.

Of course military jumping has a very much poorer safety record
than sport jumping.  Anyone who would jump out of a plane so low
that there's no time for a reserve chute to open (and therefore
not bother to wear a reserve) must be nuts.

Uh, oh.... I may be in trouble now.  I can never remember which bar

post-college 30ish yuppie to middle-aged well-to-do sort of place,

gay-oriented, where, *incidentally*, little -ggs had to tell his
neighbor to *please* take his hand off his (-ggs') thigh, at least
for now because everyone is looking.  On another occasion, he met
two guys in this bar, one very modish-sloppy and somewhat middle-
aged in the process of being picked up by a hustler stud who
thought that -ggs was sort of funny, and -ggs accompanied them
down the street to a restaurant (Pied de cochon ? -- something in
French that means Pig'sfoot... ) for dinner, and then returning
to home (250 miles away) finds that his tc/sw's business associate
had been in the restaurant that night and reported that little
-ggs was <hanging around> with some strange types.  The world is
