CJ, > Tenchu, just about every time I claim that, I can prove it is true.

You can prove that you know the definition of a word and I don't?

Maybe you can prove that I've never heard of Merriam-Webster. An all-expenses-paid trip to Disneyland awaits you if you can pull that off ...

"Every time you claim you know the definition of a word and I don't."

Tenchu, just about every time I claim that, I can prove it is true. As far as that one case, have you ever heard the word used in conversation? When I was younger, it was moderately common. And it was always used in conjunction of blacks, never whites or even Mexicans. It is like a "strapping young buck" was never anything but a black guy.


Ten has a way of stringing words together that don't say anything.....at least not clearly. I used to think he just couldn't get his arms around an issue but now I think its by intent.
