As I have admitted before, there are about twelve sets of first
cousin marriages in my family tree, and it is a verifiable fact that
*all* the males in my family (at least for the last three generations)
have had *three* knees.  But, *my* father, as far as I know, never
dated one of his sisters.  I mean, doris, really, that is the most
disgusting thing I ever heard in my life!

I'm confused.  When is aspiration a distinctive feature?  I thought
aspirated [p] and unaspirated [p] (or /k/ or /t/) were allophones in
English.

Oops.  I think when I answered Tushar's posting early this morning, I didn't
read carefully enough to realize that he was talking about consonant clusters
in relation to a k,t,p preceding a vowel.  In that case, the preceding
vowel in the cluster would have to be s, as Karen points out.

I thought that was the only kind in English.

Hee hee hee hee hee!  You've made a friend for life there, I suspect.

	 4) "Hockey-puck!" (Ken W.)

I think it was a 'witty' variation on 'bull-puckey'.

	10) FQDN (Anne Hr.)

Fully qualified domain name.  The only acronym you have to learn
in networking to sound Fully Qualified.

	15) To drop the soap in the shower (Dan)

Refer back to Don's comment about dropping the soap in the shower
some months ago.  He was suggesting the person he was replying to (Marylin
I think it was) would enjoy being anally raped in the shower. I thought
it was a rather tasteless remark to be honest.  It's only funny if it's
a joke made about marines.

	20) To roman candle (Graham)

It's a parachutists idiom for a parachute failing to open, as when
a girl I knew in the OTC died jumping out an army plane.

	23) Ribbit (John Wm.)

Generic frog noise.  Like miaow for cats.

Multiple choice form - tick the box.

Knock it off Akio.  You know better.

	27) Douglas Adams/Molly Ivins (Graham/Rashmi)

Rashmi asked for the meaning of boffo.  There are two, depending on
where she first heard the word.  There's the real meaning, and the
way Douglas Adams uses it.

A large car tunnel in, I think, New York?  Anyway, it's irrelevant -
abh was just using it as a random Freudian image to tittilate us
with bogus insights to her psyche.

A reference to Frank and his fetching big blue eyes...

Yet another variation on Bull Puckey via Hockey Puck.

	39) Hanshaw/Heinlein (Ruth H.)

In some of Heinlein's stories, he has the characters (in the far future)
explain some idiomatic phrases.  Of course, this far in the future
the roots of manty phrases are lost, so people invent etymologies
as they do today.  Hawkes & Hanshaw's were types of cars I believe,
in his future history.  However Heinlein's own knowlege of etymology
seems to be singularly lacking in places.

Uh-oh, I think I've found a lost sib -- my father was *notorious* for
having <bad luck> with irreplaceable pictures.  He would go 'way out on a
log in the water in order to get a picture of us on the shore, for example,
falling off in his joy at success but managing to keep the camera from
getting wet, only to have Kodak (he always sent the film directly to Kodak)
lose it and apologize.  He was a lawyer, and thought to sue, but the
disclaimer was ironclad.  When he took pix of my brother going off to war,
and the thought was we might never see him again -- you guessed it.  (My
brother, on the other hand, never saw combat, and we were glad he came home
safely.)  To safeguard the film of their long-saved-for trip to Mexico, Dad
cached it in the tourbus's glove compartment, didn't trust it to Mexican
processors, and found when they got home that it had baked beyond
redemption.

When I got this Toshiba home last night and fired it up on the

my screen.  At the same time, it only interfered with the reading

This never worked for me--I mean, I can do it, but who can talk w/ a

voicing the consonant?  I did take Greek--it was the last thing I took

Well, what the bumper sticker really said (and I think I saw it on

I think it is terribly funny, because it is making fun of the pompous

The feather jumped.  I just tried it.  I'm glad nobody walked into my

"abhor" with noticeable juncture between [b] and [h], but I got more
