Sound feculent to me (fecal). I'd be more concerned with fecundity of those guys on the other thread (the intellectual fruitfulness of a creative imagination).

Huh! Ain't got your native flute yet, and already pretending to be native?

Now--shhh... It's a subliminal aviator.

Now, Glauber, let me leave it until I get Claus brainwashed, just a bit.
Besides, I just decided I'll keep it until Bloomfiled removes his. So there

Bushwah! I've always liked its vigor.

A particularly emphatic way of saying "nonsense", even though it comes (I think - my desk dictionary is silent on this) from bourgeois.

I very much hope that Zoob's sartorial acumen isn't reflected in his choice of avatar design.

I doubt it - I don't think he's a clown in the circus, is he?

NOW all is clear - never mind Zoob. He must've won the lottery. And his first language isn't English either.....

Ah, lambent... now there is a word after my heart. Thank you, Carol, for the succor you offer from the sesquipedelian and pugnacious utterances on this thread.

Whoah, there.....or WhOA, there.....I just got the gist of Zoob's avatar. Oh, boy.

Syzygy: looks like a village in Poland, but it's a direct alignment of three points in space. Taking liberties with the word, one could say, "There was a sort of recurrent temporal syzygy from his paycheck to the bank and on to the racetrack."
