Words & Wordplay - September 2006

The only thing I could find online about it was that it is the equivalent to "giving it the ol' college try". Are there other meanings?

I mean word, not definition, so don't bother writing "Intolerance" "Racsim" "Hatred" etc.

Mine's probably "Texted". I hate the way it sounds.

I also hate when some people say "Aks" instead of "Ask" but "Aks" isn't really a word.

What your least favourite?

My Sorrow, when she's here with me
Thinks these dark days of autumn rain
Are beautiful as days can be.
She loves the bare, the withered tree
She walks the sodden pasture lane.

Her pleasure will not let me stay
She talks and I am fain to list
She's glad the birds are gone away,
She's glad her simple worsted grady
Is silver now with clinging mist.

The desolate, deserted trees
The faded earth, the heavy sky
The beauties she so ryly sees,
She thinks I have no eye for these
And vexes me for reason why

Not yesterday I learned to know
This love of bare November days
Before the coming of the snow
But it were vain to tell her so
And they are better for her praise
-Robert Frost

It's clothing of some kind. Perhaps some english lit professor or someone who knows about medieval garments could clue me in.

Cheers!

Mine is brought. I hate it when someone says something like. "I went to the store and brought groceries". I say no you bought groceries. Bought past tense of buy. I went to buy groceries. So, once they are paid for they have been bought. Now once you get them home you brought them home. Brought is the past tense of bring.

The plural of mouse is mice;
The plural of louse is lice;
The plural of house is houses;
But the plural of spouse is certainly spice
For the challenge that marriage arouses.

True or false to your experience?

What Conscience dictates to be done,
Or warns me not to doe,
This, teach me more than Hell to shun,
That, more than Heav'n pursue.

~~Universal Prayer by Alexander Pope

it is i romeo
you fill my life with brightness like the sun
everytime you speak is like a angel singing a peaceful song
you shine brighter than any other star in the night sky
you are a crimson rose in a field of white roses
you twinkle like glitter falling slowly catching the light

I need a synonym for couldn't. As in not being physically able to do something at all. Something is totally out of a person's reach.

I mean, who said, "sh*t" is a bad word or "f*ck" is unacceptable? Why are they so much more appalling than other words like "darn" or "crap" or "crud," etc.?
