shudder...

I was expecting a friendly thread to do with the alphabet (I don't know what, it is clearly a lame idea) and instead I am confronted by my worst fear - I demand a warning on the title of the thread so I never click on it again.

I don't know. It might be. I'm being controversial.

I'm only acting intelligent because I had to look up what anodine meant on dictionary.com

I did the same, using the Word thesaurus. I like to use words indiscriminately without having any idea what they mean.

My girlfriend does this, also. On saturday she made a comment about "reams of blood". I was doubled up laughing at her, as she lay there, bleeding to death in the road.

Me too. Works a treat until you start going out with someone in possesion of a larger vocabulary than you. From then on you have to set up a mental check-point, appraising words on the fly, to stop yourself appearing foolish.

I try and stick to words of two syllables or less these days. I find it works well.

I got into all kinds of trouble as an eleven year old when I believed that the word "phallic" referred to french and italian cookery.

I know. Gerunds, past participles, participle, vocative - Mrs Stefanos has thrown them all at me in the past. Gimme a bloke with a large shield and a spear trying to take my face off and I will happily face him.

Give me those and I will run and cower...

When very young, I thought "getting pissed" meant wetting yourself.
Now I'm old, of course, it does.


Now amy's here, perhaps you could imagine I've slotted in just before her?
Only that would make the above comment even more irrelevant than it already is

Edit, When, or I'll send the huns after you. I think the idea now is to post a word posted by another poster which follows the sequence established above, which would be an alphabetical one, running from A to Z

Righto, I'll edit. What letter are we on now? I'm confused.

I might go down to the bottom of this thread and try again.

But scrawny, then you'll have to edit too, cos you haven't left When a letter.

Back on track -

F!

Though some other pedant with a faster connection has probably already mentioned that.

My turn finally!

Whew. I thought this thread had gone to the dogs. Glad to be able to keep it going.

Who's next?

Golly, this is fun!

Oh, damn. The concept had moved on just as I thought it had gotten back on track.

What letter are we on again? F?

Fuck.

OK, now so far the sequence appears to be:

A, B, I, D, E, G, H, F...

What is this? A MENSA test of some sort?

You don't get this hard-sums-Open-University shit over on Handbag.
I reckon we must be on J by now, so:

Juxtaposition.

You know, no-one's going to post on your thread if you keep asking such hard questions.
