Subject: A.Word.A.Day--zugzwang

zugzwang (TSOOK-tsvahng) noun     A position where one is forced to make an undesirable move.
[From German Zugzwang, Zug (move) + Zwang (compulsion, obligation).]
"Now the government finds itself in zugzwang, where every move it makes    worsens its position against an invisible opponent ...."    Pusch Commey, Is the Rand Racially Prejudiced?, African Business (London),    Mar 2001.
In his classic story "Shatranj Ke Khiladi" ("Chess Players," later made into a movie directed by Satyajit Ray), Hindi writer Munshi Premchand (1880-1936) narrates the saga of a kingdom engrossed in playing chess, unmindful of the advancing enemy forces.
Such is the charm of this ancient Indian game.
An Italian proberb goes, "After the game, the king and pawn go into the same box."
A world in itself, chess mimics life in more ways than one.
While quite simple on the surface, its complexity is mind-boggling.
There are more than 10120 possible moves (that's number 10 followed by 120 zeros).
That is a?fairly large number once we realize that there are only about 1075 atoms in this universe.
It attests to the popularity of the game that many of the chess words have entered our mainstream vocabulary.
This week we explore five of them.

If it fails to get the    result - and the cash - it wants from its new diplomatic gambit, it may    simply abandon the enterprise."

noun     A fast gallop; rush.
adjective     Swift.
interjection     A hunting cry by a hunter riding a horse at full speed.
[Of obscure origin, perhaps from the sound of a galloping horse's feet.]
"But both the book and the exhibit show clearly that along with these    changes in diet, sport and exercise had an early start and a long run    among the tangled tantivy of 19th-century cures, cons, leeches, preachers,    drugs, zaps, baths, diets, teetotaling, indoor plumbing, ventilation, and    `Spanish Nerve Grains' that stampeded Americans into our current obsession    with fitness."

blue rinse (BLOO rins) adjective     Related to elderly women.
[From the hair-dye used on grey hair that produces a blue shade.]
"If the race comes down to a former officer married to an aristocrat and    blessed with four children - or a quiffed Spaniard with a gay past and a    soft line on drugs, who do you think the blue rinse brigade will choose?"
Jonathan Freedland, Still Lost in the Wilderness, The Guardian (London),    Jul 11, 2001.
Ever wonder how our vocabulary is colored by many hues of a rainbow?
Often we use colors as symbols for ideas, thoughts, and concepts but do it with little logic.
Take the color blue, for example.
A blue chip stock is good to hold in one's portfolio while we're chary of blue-sky stock.
A blue collar worker is a manual laborer yet a bluestocking is one with intellectual inclinations.
A bluenose is a prude but a blue blood is aristocratic.
Even a computer would go crazy trying to make sense of this.
No wonder we made artificial languages to program computers.
In this week's AWAD we take a look at other words and phrases tinged with colors.

Interspersed among these dreary    horrors are purple passages about his love for his children, his dog and    his fine house."

pink collar (PINGK KOL-uhr) noun     Pertaining to the type of jobs, such as telephone operator or secretary,    traditionally held by women.
[From the color pink, traditionally associated with women, on the model of phrases white collar or blue collar.]
"Ever on the alert for social shifts among the power elite, the New York    Times pointed out the other day that this is the year in which women    entering law school may, for the first time, outnumber men.
The Times    drafted a number of learned observers to speculate on the meaning of it    all: Perhaps the atmosphere of law schools will become more `teamlike';    ...
But the most interesting comment in the article came from one Deborah    Rhode, a Stanford law school professor who worries that the law may become    a `pink collar ghetto,' like other professions that have traditionally    welcomed women."

Subject: A.Word.A.Day--crabwise

crabwise (KRAB-wyz) adjective     1.
Sideways.
2.
In a cautious or roundabout manner.
[From the sideways movement of crabs.]
"John Smith is still moving crabwise towards modernity."
John Major's Last Year?, The Economist (London), May 15, 1993.
It's a blessing to have a child at home.
As parent of a four-year old, I strive to answer my daughter Ananya's incessant questions about moon and earthworms and clouds and trees and bears as truthfully as I can.
Our investigations into these seemingly mundane matters often reveal insights that are learning experiences for both of us.
But there are times when my thoughts are elsewhere and I simply answer the question "Why?"
with "Because that's how God made 'em."
I didn't know the joke was on me until the evening I found the corner of our living room wall scribbled with bright shades of crayons.
When questioned why we had that mural on the wall, she simply replied, "Because that's how God made it."
Well, if we were to ask why a crab moves crabwise or sideways, that'd be a pretty good answer: because that's how God (or nature, depending on how your beliefs run) made it.
Because that's how their legs bend.
That's how their muscles flex.
That's how they've adapted.
That's how they survive as a species.
And that's how we got a synonym for the word `sideways' in our dictionary.
If we were to look up the term `humanwise' in a crab's dictionary, chances are it would mean `sideways'.

She says by 15% but I don't know if that's entirely correct.
This hurts us on the Thermo deal, delivered to Skyline, due to the fact that these two receipt points are the only points that work on our discounted transportation.
