"Fletcherize" looks like an eponym, and I don't know it. OK, I looked it up. It's an eponym, and I didn't know it. The "woof" is one side of a loom. The other is called the "warp." On a typical warp-weighted loom, the pattern to be woven is determined by the warp, not the woof (sometimes called "weft"). I guess Tikkiee goes again. Edited to add...no, as long as we're doing eponyms, I'll throw one out: "crapper." (Hint here.)

Tikkiee -> RE: Word Fight (4/25/2006 4:42:56 PM)
LOL Thomas Crapper, a plumber. Though the word was in use long before he was even born, because of his 'profession' and the word, they became tied together. Here's another one; "boycott"

Lordandmaster -> RE: Word Fight (4/25/2006 6:37:00 PM)
Yeah, another eponym. I assume we all know what "boycott" means though. Next one..."stentorian"

candystripper -> RE: Word Fight (4/25/2006 6:46:41 PM)
loud, exremely loud. new word: ephiphany candystripper

yourMissTress -> RE: Word Fight (4/25/2006 6:50:54 PM)
As I explained on another thread, I have a stentorian voice. next: caterwauling

Lordandmaster -> RE: Word Fight (4/25/2006 6:55:12 PM)
An "epiphany" is a (sudden) recognition of something profound. "Caterwauling" means screeching like cats. Next one..."subreption"

Tikkiee -> RE: Word Fight (4/25/2006 7:19:05 PM)

candystripper -> RE: Word Fight (4/25/2006 7:39:14 PM)
very good. new word: "subreader" candystripper

Lordandmaster -> RE: Word Fight (4/25/2006 10:46:32 PM)
I looked up "subreader." It's not what I thought.

candystripper -> RE: Word Fight (4/26/2006 2:45:57 AM)
nice word though, eh? i think it deserves a new meaning. candystripper

bandit25 -> RE: Word Fight (4/26/2006 3:34:45 AM)
Yeah, I looked it up too.

Tikkiee -> RE: Word Fight (4/26/2006 5:17:20 AM)
LOL I am guessing here. Is that like a paralegal or an assistant?

candystripper -> RE: Word Fight (4/26/2006 5:23:08 AM)
"subreader" is one who reads the texts from which legal discourse will be made in the Inns of Court. i still think we should recycle it. candystripper. (someone else's turn.)

Tikkiee -> RE: Word Fight (4/26/2006 5:54:40 AM)
