I get it a lot, and am flattered at being associated with him. Although... come to think of it, it probably speaks more of our laziness when posting than me having reached the higher echelons of senior modship... Know what I mean, MB? ;) Good word:Duplicity.

infamous Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 Yes, please remember that Infamous uses "Infy." I get it a lot, and am flattered at being associated with him. I take that as the highest sort of compliment Infy#2. I will return the compliment and express my willingness to share the nickname with you sir. Maybe we could settle this situation by assigning you the name, Infy2 and myself Infy1. In either case I'm honored to share the title with you my friend.........Infy1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chacmool Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 OK, I know this was meant for great English words, but I was doing a translation into Afrikaans, and the following word looked really great: rooibokooi It means "impala ewe". Another great Afrikaans word: geëet It means "ate/eaten". Don't you just love all those e's bunched together? Racoon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
