I never know when I am going to learn something useful. From Faultline's brief quip, I learn about Triton, and another word, "segue." So, a sincere thanks to you both.
And just to keep us on-topic, even foreign affairs types can have fun: abcnews.go.com
But to segue yet again, Which of the following contexts do you think Faultline intended? I vote for c).
a)Definition:
segue (pronounced seg' way, or say' gway) n. An immediate transition from one part to another, as in music. vi. to continue without break to or into the next part. howtouniverse.com
b)
a Movement and the shape of movement. As verb,
segue describes the transition from one thing to another—
from here to there, innocence to wisdom, familiarity to strangeness.
As noun, it describes what we leave behind as a record of that transition:
wars, lives, words ... ... the unsettling territory between what we know and
what we don't know.) orgs.muohio.edu
c)
he can drop his professional character act and segue into a smart, emotionally direct conversation faster than you can say "Top o' the morning."
