hlen5 -> Any Porn Connoisseurs? (5/20/2013 3:02:02 PM)
http://www.nbcnews.com/id/26315908/ns/msnbc_tv-rachel_maddow_show/#51923591. The Oxford English Dictionary has put out a call for a book used as reference for 51 separate words. There is a possibility the book ( pub. 1852, I think) might have been porn. Does anyone have knowledge of the book "Meanderings of Memory"? Anyone?

(who; among other things, performed an autopenectomy ((Look that fucker up)) ) Without looking it up, I'm guessing he cut off his own penis? Now I'm gonna go look. The Professor and The Madman is a book I've been meaning to read. ETA: Yep, I was right.

Wow. I don't think I've yet seen those two words used one after the other like that. Congrats. I also have to say thanks for this. quote: A theory proposed by the OED bibliographer was that the book might contain pornographic content, leading to it not having been catalogued in a typical manner. I can see the title working well over poetry or something blue. The words may hold a clue which is the more likely. quote: OED entries sourced using Meanderings of Memory : Chapelled Cock-a-bondy Couchward Day Dike/Dyke Droop Dump Epistle Extemporize Fanc Flambeau Flesh Foodless Fringy Full Gigantomachy Goal Goalward Hearthward Idol Inscriptionless Lump Peaceless Rape Re- (prefix) Revirginize Reliefless Rheumatize Sanctuaried Sap Sarcophage Scarf Scavage Shoe Slippery Sun Templed Transplanter Tribe Tribunal Trouse Trunked Un- (prefix) Unbusy Unstuff Vermined Vulgar Warmthless Wen Whinge Width Nope.
