The difference can be described in one word! Sure, the computer can do many, many things a human brain can't. But, there is one thing it doesn't have that can arrive at a conclusion. Actually, this one word can incorporate another word also. What is that word and/or words?

She said this word to about someone but I am having a problem explaining her what it means.
She looks up the word in the dictionary but I know that is not the real meaning of it!
Can you help me explain what that word really means and how offenses it could be or maybe dangerous to call someone like that!

WORD: Jerk

I was watching the Simpsons' Movie and Flanders said to his son you have the devil's curly hair. I wasn't sure what that meant but I'm guessing it is an antisemetic phrase.

I've invented a word game in which you try to use the same word or the same sounding word as many times in a row as you can and still make some sense.

example 1:
I took my brother Hadley to the circus and he loved it but he drank to much and it ruined his day. It would have been the
best time 'Had had had, had Had had' a little less beer

example 2:
CW Moss had too much to drink when he met WC Fields and that was what made 'CW see WC double, you see?'

Using 'Great Great Great Great' Grandma is cheating but if you wanted to cheer up your feeble old great grandmother who can't even grate cheese any more you might say:
"You're doing a fine job. I think you 'grate great, great' grandma!"
