Emperor Ming Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Cheers ming, I feel enlightened now! I'll try to use that in a sentence soon! You should give us a word of the week on here, it might be fun! We have a 'game' at work where you arew given a word to get into a formal police interview. I once had three offenders - all involved in dealing drugs - and I was given three words. Taj Mahal, St Pauls Cathedral and the Eiffel Tower. I got all three in!! Effervescent was another challenge that I got into an interview for theft of a car. I like your 'word of the day' idea though. I shall have to give it some thought! I have put many a 'hard man' in jail with the power of the word where the 'strong arm' of the law had failed. How about Donnybrook!! Fit that in a sentence Ming the Muddled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zzzz... Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 no doubt you have been involved in many donnybrooks in your career... but this sentence could tergiversate many readers and give a nefarious perception to your persona. need a break now...

Emperor Ming Posted September 25, 2007 Author Share Posted September 25, 2007 Forsooth For I am often upon the queens business. I oftensay 'stand aside miscreant, ner-do-well, and offender of this good parish for I take upon me the queens shilling and am a bidder of her business'. Believe it or believe it not I have put a sentence similar to that in both a custody record AND a police statement. I love words. Look in the dictionary and see Take the word PUDDLE It also means 'to stir molten iron to produce wrought iron by expelling carbon' or 'to busy oneself in an untidy way' or even 'to mix water and clay to seperate gold and opal'. What a fabulous language we have, rivalled only i think by Japanese for its complexity. And I have just typed all this AFTER a full bottle of Rondinella Pinot Grigio - a sharp little rose blush with a distinct tincture of maranello - and one of Mrs Ming's finest home cooked archaic recipees.

Emperor Ming Posted September 25, 2007 Author Share Posted September 25, 2007 Excellent ! keep your affluence of the semantic teachings and enlighten our empoverished discourse with your wordsmith and steadfast lexicography. I will reply with great fortitude on the morrow good sir. Partaking of great linguistic fortitude is a sobering experience and I care not to waste the elvating experience of good grape sustenance. I have just partook in a gambling extraveganza which left me numerous 'Yanky greenbacks' to the good so I now bid you a fond fairwell and will partake of verbal and linguistic banter on the setting of the 'morrows sun.

A certian ubiquitous charm I am sure, and roots firmly embedded in the antedeluvian orders of our great and sceptered isle. Harkening back to eons gone when history was but in the creating and memories fair failed to reach beyond living memory.

I've nae an early yolk an ah hid an ealy louse the day an ah! Fit fine! At a hazardous estimation it would/could mean What kind of day did you have? What time are you getting up in the morning - yolking I guess is in reference to yolking a beast which would be the first job in a farmers day - I don't have to get up early and I had an ......... today as well. Be good! Struggling with 'ealy louse'. but agin I hazzard a guess at 'easy day' Ming the struggling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinmac Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Gie him strong drink until he wink, That's sinking in despair; An' liquor guid to fire his bluid, That's prest wi' grief and care: There let him bouse, an' deep carouse, Wi' bumpers flowing o'er, Till he forgets his loves or debts, An' minds his griefs no more. Let other poets raise a fracas "Bout vines, an' wines, an' drucken Bacchus, An' crabbit names an'stories wrack us, An' grate our lug: I sing the juice Scotch bear can mak us, In glass or jug.

nixy Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 I think my favourite quote was one that my son did when he was about 6 years old and our new neighbours invited us for dinner. I was surprised when they put their hands together and closed their eyes to say grace and my son loudly said "rub a dub dub, thanks for the grub, lets get shovelling!" I was mortified!

Emperor Ming Posted September 27, 2007 Author Share Posted September 27, 2007 Ming, have you been smoking anything strange recently? Laugh. A stentorian rumble uttered forth from my stomachs pit! The frightening thing, oh ye of the fairer sex, is that oft not I am free of all and any grape or hop based intellectual enhancements. I accept wholeheartedly that this menu of ramblings was started by a quaff of dionysiacally enhanced fermentation but oftennot they come from a truely honest state of sobriety. Ming the Straight PS After a decent seizure I am stoned just through contact as my system is not used to the effects of the THC - tetra hydra canabinol - in the plants and it takes me a while to come round - like last night.
