    As many years as I've played chess, where has this word been hiding?
  2. drpaladin
    From German zug (pull) and zwang (force).

    It's a shame it's about flags. Getting vexillated sounds exciting.

    Chapter 11

    drpaladin commented on Arch Hunter's story chapter in Chapter 11

    And Lesson One is the importance of locking doors before hanky panky. Lesson Two is close the drapes or blinds. And hasn't Maggie learned yet with a teenaged son it's a good idea to knock on the door?

    It was quick thinking on Maggie's part to call it wrestling when it obviously wasn't. There is something hinky about the photo. And it's sad Michael is thinking this thing with Liam is fleeting.

    My take also.

    From the Latin pulcher, meaning beautiful.

    Sycophants sounds like 'sick of ants' and if you've ever found ants in the kitchen, you are. If surrounded by sick of ants, what does ant vomit smell like? I'm in an odd mood this morning if you couldn't tell.

    You meant River, didn't you? It does sound rather 'Finnish' though.

    Look out Japan! Typhoon River will be making landfall soon. Will he encounter Ji's father and how will that go? So far there has been no mention of Ji and Ai's mother. Is she still in the picture? Japan is still a patriarchal society. It would be difficult to see a Henry/Mae type dynamic there, but wouldn't it be a bit of fun with Daddy and Momma mob bosses doing the business of business?

    I've probably said it before, but it's worth saying again. River is awesome! It's funny he described Ji as being blunt when he's every iota of blunt himself. His observation on Henry was correct. Henry is as much a victim of Mae as Alec.

    From the Latin reconditus, meaning concealed or hidden.

    Perhaps Judge Crater?

    I don't believe he wants to meet Devin or Mac's Mr. Hyde.

    Because Louella knows they don't have a dog and they have to walk in the open from the garage.

    I wondered about this as well. It would seem easier for Mac to drive back.

    Chapter 29 S2

    drpaladin commented on Bill W's story chapter in Chapter 29 S2

    The guys are off to a running start with their third year. Knowing how everything goes makes the settling in easier. They're even getting the toy drive going earlier. Since the guy who hit on Mac is self employed, I wonder if he'll switch times and start coming to the park in the morning? I can understand Devin trying to avoid Louella. I'm dreading her waddling appearance myself.

    I am not going to make a list of all the mundane, quotidian tasks I unmindfully trudge through. I know if I do, the awareness would tire me out and I'd take a long nap. I might take one anyway.
  19. drpaladin
    From the Latin quotidie, meaning every day.

    Limerence can and has had devastating consequences. Think Helen of Troy for one. Then consider the many rapes and sexual assaults. Infatuation is dangerous.

    @Geemeedee Before the internet I served as Google.

    Limerence sounds like a good name for a really tasty Key Lime pie.
  23. drpaladin
    Limerence is a term created by psychologist Dorothy Tennov in the 1970's. It has been called the Fool's Gold of Love.

    M's Secret

    drpaladin commented on mastershakeme's story chapter in M's Secret

    It actually did have an ending when it was posted before.

    Mumpsimus can also be a bigoted adherent to a disproven belief. Archie Bunker would be an example of a mumpsimus.
