Can you tell us what that word means?
why wouldn't they tell us? are they keeping it a secret?
Do you really want to know the meaning?
or could you handle what it really is saying? :)
Is this a conspiricy? Are you the CIA folllowup to the kenedy assassanation cover-up? LoL?
And yet I wonder why Uncle Pen would contemplate the musings of a
married European woman, or did he mean me? (lol!) :)
Where do I learn everything, Maddie? Am I not the Devourer of Books? Does not memsahib mean "lady" in India? The other meaning given by Paws was more because the servants were calling the married European woman they served "Lady" as well, and in books I have read, it also applies to unmarried women with servants; so it just showed respect, like saying Madam or Miss, see? And all would agree that our Maddie is a true Lady when a Dragon defends her, correct?! http://smilies.vidahost.com/games/db...wishdragon.gif
and who can deny
that gallant reply? ;)
I was so pleasantly surprised :D It does mean a Lady :nod: Actually Sahib means Sir or used when addressing someone with respect, and memsahib is also Maam / Madam of the Sahib, people couldnt say Maam / Madam properly and it became mem :DQuote:

CIA here and at your service, what can i do for you mam?
Can you find out all the hiding cockroaches and do something about these creepy insects? :p
I think I'd call Orkin for those cockroaches... the CIA has enough bugs in it already, I believe? http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l1...omKane/Fly.gif
And just why were you surprised, memsahib? I read a lot, and Richard Wentworth, The Spider, has a giant Sikh as a servant, very deadly with knives, very respectful in language, so I pick up words here and there and become certain of their meanings, no? http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l1...e/friendly.gif
Did somebody mention cockroaches? :sick:
Can I type "ewww" even more emphatically?
have you ever tasted chocoate covered cockroaches...on halloweeen of course!!..?
I certainly haven't....has anybody else?
I can't think of anything that would induce me to eat a cockroach of my own volition, chocolate covered or otherwise, can you?
