Words & Wordplay - November 2006

As a child I was corrected if a 4 letter word slipped from my mouth. I don't use them today. I often wondered where did these words come from and what makes them offensive.

I am seeking for single words that define and/or symbolizes "the very beginning of night" and "the end of night before dawn". What I mean is a word for when there is no longer any sign of sunlight on the horizon or any trace of it.

I used to stare at the pictures, until eventually I became sleepy; a trick that was very useful when I used to be too excited to sleep if Christmas was coming, or my birthday!

For exemple: The word "cockroach" was given to cockroaches because that's the sound they make when they're crushed. Crows are another exemple. Does anyone know this word?

Why do you strive for greatness, fool?


Why do you strive for greatness, fool?
Go pluck a bough and wear it.
It is as sufficing.

My Lord, there are certain barbarians
Who tilt their noses
As if the stars were flowers,
And Thy servant is lost among their shoe-buckles.
Fain would I have mine eyes even with their eyes.

Fool, go pluck a bough and wear it.
