Last I knew we were on the subject of the School of Flattery, my dear Miss Dainty Darcy, and it appears the faculty, (that would be Shouty and me), are the current topic, with sidelights of where the 12 that came before The Last 13, and if you are not yet confused, Lady Darcy, could you explain it to me, mon cher ? ;)

Now, now, if you wish to become elite members of the School of Flattery, you simply must refrain from undignified maligning of a person’s character, however dimwitted and boorish they may appear to be, don’t you think? Focus on their good points instead of their shortcomings. With Mr. Simpson, we might point out that he is a perfect example to the rest of us as to what we don’t, for God’s sake, want ourselves to turn into at any cost, don’t you agree? http://www.cosgan.de/images/midi/figuren/h040.gif

What is the origin of the word 'ditzy'?

kathycf
01-23-2007, 06:55 PM
What is the origin of the word 'ditzy'?
Ah, is not the internet a fabulous thing?


ditzy
One entry found for ditzy.
Main Entry: dit·zy
Variant(s): or dit·sy /'dit-sE/
Function: adjective
Inflected Form(s): ditz·i·er or dits·i·er; -est
Etymology: origin unknown
: eccentrically silly, giddy, or inane : DIZZY
- dit·zi·ness or dit·si·ness /-n&s/ noun

9. Ditzy (1973). It is hard to believe that this word is of such recent origin. It means "eccentrically silly, giddy, or insane," according to the Collegiate. The OED calls it ditsy and points to dicty, a word first appearing in 1926, as the progenitor of ditsy. But dicty means "conceited, high-class, snobbish." Though the OED says that the origin is unknown, it seems to have emerged in Black English, as reflected in this 1944 quotation: "These (sic) are only a few dozen words and phrases that are uniquely Negro...such as 'dicty' which means trying to put on airs and act upper class without having the basis for doing so."

Thus, I have a hard time seeing how ditzy/ditsy might have been derived from dicty. In any case, once ditzy appeared on the scene in the late 1970s, it meant either "fussy"/"intricate" or, more frequently, "(Esp. of a woman) stupid, scatterbrained; cute." Even though we were in the middle of the feminist revolution at that time, the word ditzy seemed to take on a meaning associating it exclusively with women. From a Time movie review in 1981: "Bob Newhart plays the President of the United States. Madeline Kahn is his ditso wife. Gilda Radner is their ditsy daughter." Perhaps receding images of Goldie Hawn also helped to give it an anit-feminist life of its own. Or, perhaps when men felt threatened by the gradual incursions of feminist thought into the workplace, they retaliated by coining the term ditzy.
So, what do you folks think? :lol:

re 'ditzy' Ah. I heard it for the first time (first time I noticed anyway!) last year from a highly literate seventeen-year-old girl. I guessed it was from West-over-ocean. Your sources sound pretty convincing about its present meaning. I had thought that it might have been derived from 'dizzy'. Sounds like a 'Friends' kind-of-word.

Why do you think she gave them forty whacks? Was it a mathematical problem. A modern crafty lawyer could get her off on the grounds of numerical obsession!

She gave her father forty-one

I think you will find she was found innocent by judge and jury, so who knows? http://www.crimelibrary.com/notorious_murders/famous/borden/index_1.html

Question: Would you rather swim in a normal ocean, or have a huge ocean made of heavenly hash marble iceream and a ginormous straw to go with it, so that you could just gulp it all down?

ennison

No but I have wished Campbelton Loch was whisky. Do abstract questions have abstract answers?

PS I'd rather the 'normal ocean'.

Maria L
01-27-2007, 04:37 PM
what's with people and normal oceans? Is everyone just afraid of the unkown?
Seriously.
An Ocean of Marble icecream = 10x better than an abundance of salt water

Is it really? But wouldn't that be hard on the sea creatures to deprive them of their natural habitat?

Maria L
01-28-2007, 01:13 AM
Aaah,
animal lover.
Well, I said just one ocean. There's so many oceans out there.
And hey, this isn't reality we're talking about, anything is possible
- so why not?

ennison

Marble ice-cream sounds a bit hard for me - definite brain freeze.

I don't know Shalot, are you?

Who put the curse on the lady in the tower? Doesn't her reaction to Lancelot seem nymphomaniacal?

kathycf
01-28-2007, 02:31 PM
Nymphomania is such a relative term, don't you think?
Do I even know what I am saying?
Perhaps I should go back to bed...? :yawnb:

Chocolate cookie dough? You do know you aren't suppose to raise people's hopes regarding cookies, right? ;)

can camels also have knee length hair?Anyone still remember the camels?

Madhuri

Arent Camels called the 'Ship of the Desert'?

smilingtearz
01-29-2007, 01:44 PM
and don't they look nice too? ( minus the hump :P)

Madhuri
01-29-2007, 01:47 PM
Would you believe me, my teacher called me a Camel once :rolleyes: for standing at the water tap for long? :lol:

AimusSage
01-29-2007, 01:49 PM
Is it wise for me to comment on this?

Madhuri
01-29-2007, 01:51 PM
Dont you think my teacher's comment are more than enough on this?

smilingtearz
01-29-2007, 01:58 PM
you think your teacher knows more about Camels than Aimus does?? :D :p

Madhuri
01-29-2007, 02:04 PM
Is there some understanding between Camels and Aimus about drinking water, that the teacher knows of? :p :D

What am I saying??

smilingtearz
01-29-2007, 02:09 PM
Couldn't there be a possibility of an understanding between Aimus and the camels about something more than just drinking water, that the teacher wouldn't have the slightest hint about??

AimusSage
01-29-2007, 02:14 PM
Oh no! This isn't about the frustrated three humped camel from wallmart again, is it?

smilingtearz
01-29-2007, 02:19 PM
Why di you have to remind me?!!

( remeber the last time this came up we questioned the poor camel for pages!!)

AimusSage
01-29-2007, 02:21 PM
Didn't it involve Madonna and Britney Spears?

smilingtearz
01-29-2007, 02:28 PM

AimusSage
01-29-2007, 02:31 PM
Don't you agree we are stepping onto a dangerous slope here?

Maria L
01-29-2007, 02:32 PM
what happened to the question game?

The one where everyone understood what was being talked about.

AimusSage
01-29-2007, 02:35 PM
Do you want to understand all this?

Maria L
01-29-2007, 02:38 PM
Not really.
I just want a question to answer.
You gave me one.
Your turn:

What is one thing you'd give your greatest accomplishment away for?

AimusSage
01-29-2007, 02:43 PM
Dindn't anyone ever tell you that it is highly illegal to answer questions in this thread, except in the form of a question?

Maria L
01-29-2007, 06:37 PM
What are you on?!

kathycf
01-29-2007, 06:44 PM
Why would you ask that?

AimusSage
01-29-2007, 06:48 PM
Don't you agree it must be the turnips?

kathycf
01-29-2007, 06:50 PM
How did you guess that was going to be my first response??!
Are you psychic, Aim? :p

AimusSage
01-29-2007, 06:51 PM
don't you think I wouldn't have to ask if I was a psychic?

Maria L
01-29-2007, 06:51 PM
Turnips...mmm..

I'm still high on Marble Icecream.

anyone remember marble icecream?

AimusSage
01-29-2007, 06:53 PM
Is it like the other 'marbles'?

kathycf
01-29-2007, 06:54 PM
Can you suppose I would remember anything?

Can we agree that Aimus is psychic whether he asks himself or another?

Does that make any sense at all? :lol:

Have I lost my marbles?

bluevictim
01-29-2007, 06:56 PM
Did you have any marbles to begin with?

AimusSage
01-29-2007, 06:57 PM
Isn't that what happens if you can't win the game? :eek:

Maria L
01-29-2007, 06:57 PM
nice.

I had marbles.
Still have marbles.
in Ice Cream form that is.

Sorry,

Are you easily confused?

01-29-2007, 07:00 PM
Is this the first break in the questions? Can the thread still continue?

Maria L
01-29-2007, 07:00 PM
........yes.

Maria L
01-29-2007, 07:01 PM
Time never ends,
merely the world ends.

kathycf
01-29-2007, 07:01 PM
Do you have to ask?

Besides the fact that we must ask questions only as that is the purpose of the thread...don't I seem that I am easily confused?

Should I go count my marbles again?

AimusSage
01-29-2007, 07:01 PM
Have many questions that were not questions gone before the anwers that were questions?

Maria L
01-29-2007, 07:02 PM
Yes I beleive they have.

Is it due to our ignorance, or our rush to say what we want to say before others get a chance?

kathycf
01-29-2007, 07:02 PM
Go eat some turnips!....? :p

bluevictim
01-29-2007, 07:04 PM
Aren't you concerned for the turnips' feelings?

Should we explain the game to maria?

Misscaroline
01-29-2007, 07:04 PM
Did anyone miss me? :glance: Is Aimus running amok again?:hands on hips:

AimusSage
01-29-2007, 07:04 PM
Is it safe to say that yes is the correct answer to a question that could potentially be answered by maybe? Or should one be better of answering with no, when the safe path is definitely maybe?

Is believing the same as knowing, or is it just a doubt that is hidden behind conviction?

AimusSage
01-29-2007, 07:05 PM
Should we explain the game to maria?
Did I not attempt to do so about a page or so ago?

bluevictim
01-29-2007, 07:06 PM
Are there any penalties for breaking the rules?

Maria L
01-29-2007, 07:07 PM
Answer the question with maybe if you're not sure
because then you'd be saying what isn't truth
and you'd be fooling yourself by saying you went with the answer that was rebellious - not safe.

Facts are needed to back up any intellectual's findings. Otherwise it's just a bunch of radical nonsense.

P.S: Yes, explain the origins of the Turnip

seasong
01-29-2007, 07:07 PM
Isn't it too much effort to go back and look?

Maria L
01-29-2007, 07:10 PM
That is true.
If you are too lazy to explain - do not.
I do not care to know that much anyway :)

kathycf
01-29-2007, 07:12 PM
You do realize this is a game, and that one must ask only questions here?

Re: turnips, Aimus is crazy for them, is that not so? :)

Maria L
01-29-2007, 07:12 PM
Who here goes to woodlands?

kathycf
01-29-2007, 07:13 PM
Woodlands? Like to hike, or walk?

Pendragon
01-29-2007, 07:16 PM
The penalty for not phrasing things as a question should be the cell in Arkham Asylum between The Riddler and The Joker, don’t you think? http://www.cosgan.de/images/midi/figuren/a026.gif

AimusSage
01-29-2007, 07:16 PM
Re: turnips, Aimus is crazy for them, is that not so? :)
Must I confirm your suspisions, or should I simply state: definitely maybe?

Maria L
01-29-2007, 07:17 PM
confirm her suspicions!

Woodlands is a school my dear.[in the headlights]

bluevictim

Is AimusSage a politician?

seasong
01-29-2007, 07:17 PM
Wouldn't a firm statement be preferable?

AimusSage
01-29-2007, 07:19 PM
Wouldn't politicians revel in these threads?

bluevictim
01-29-2007, 07:20 PM
How would I know?

kathycf
01-29-2007, 07:21 PM
Are you implying that politicians are evasive? :lol:

Gosh, what would ever give you that idea???? :p

Pendragon
01-29-2007, 07:21 PM
And while in the cell, they must peel turnips for Aimus--agreed? :lol:

Maria L
01-29-2007, 07:23 PM
cell? Are we being imprisoned?

bluevictim
01-29-2007, 07:26 PM
Who would imprison us?

AimusSage
01-29-2007, 07:28 PM
Doesn't everyone agree that crimes against Turnips should be punishable by lifetime imprisonment?

kathycf
01-29-2007, 07:29 PM
Of course I agree, who wouldn't?

Maria L
01-29-2007, 07:30 PM
Turnips are useless vegtables that can easily be replaced by carrots. So no, I do not agree.

Does everyone agree AimesSage is totally on Marble Icecream?

AimusSage
01-29-2007, 07:34 PM
Could anyone be more wrong?

Pendragon
01-29-2007, 07:35 PM
Why should I agree with the current resident of Arkham Asylem? http://smilies.vidahost.com/contrib/ruinkai/droog.gif

Maria L
01-29-2007, 07:36 PM
pwned.

Why should we beleive what we see on TV?

EAP
01-29-2007, 07:37 PM
Because Ayn Rand said so?

Maria L
01-29-2007, 07:38 PM
Why would Ayn Rand say that?

Have you ever READ any of her books?

Pendragon
01-29-2007, 07:41 PM
pwned.

By whom? Didn't you just fail to make a question again? :lol:

bluevictim
01-29-2007, 07:42 PM
Has it happened before?

AimusSage
01-29-2007, 07:44 PM
Have you been sniffing the ol' Turnip again?

Maria L
01-29-2007, 07:45 PM
Does Turnip Sniffing even have an effect?

bluevictim
01-29-2007, 07:45 PM
Would it be better if I had been sniffing new turnip?

Pendragon
01-29-2007, 07:49 PM
Aimus, are you asking me or whom? :lol: Dragon's don't sniff turnips, but our kerosene intake can become high at times, you don't suppose that would be the problem, do you? http://smilies.vidahost.com/games/dbz/dragonball-wishdragon.gif

AimusSage
01-29-2007, 07:50 PM
Wouldn't that possibly overwhelm even the most durable of Martians? How could a human possibly stand against a fresh turnip in a sniffing contest?

AimusSage
01-29-2007, 07:53 PM
Aimus, are you asking me or whom? :lol: Dragon's don't sniff turnips, but our kerosene intake can become high at times, you don't suppose that would be the problem, do you? http://smilies.vidahost.com/games/dbz/dragonball-wishdragon.gif

01-29-2007, 11:02 PM
Depends...
how many chemicals do they add into it?

Madhuri
01-30-2007, 02:48 AM
Is there anything called organic chemicals? :p

Maria L
01-30-2007, 01:14 PM
I don't think so...

but if you put fertilizer into your vegtable garden it's no longer organic right?

Madhuri
01-30-2007, 02:01 PM
Do you think if I put organic kerosin in the vegetable garden, the fruits will be bigger and juicier? :p I dont know who will have the guts to eat such vegetables...:D

kathycf
01-30-2007, 04:24 PM
Wouldn't a better question be who would have guts left after eating such vegetables? :sick: :lol:

Are there not some fertilizers that are most definately organic in origin? Would you believe there is a farm that spreads manure across it's fields in early spring in a nearby town and the aroma is quite noticeable when one drives by?

bluevictim
01-30-2007, 04:30 PM
Is there any reason not to believe it?

Is there a sum, or product, or quotient?

02-01-2007, 01:01 AM
Are the guts of vegetarians different than the guts of non-vegetarians?

Madhuri
02-01-2007, 06:01 AM
Is there any measurement unit for finding out the difference in guts?

AimusSage
02-01-2007, 06:47 AM
Could it be related to the smell? Maybe vegeterian guts smell more flowery?

Madhuri
02-01-2007, 06:58 AM
Is it so?

Dont we need to define guts first?

What will be the equation like?
