First, sorry about my faux pas, but I never studied Latin. :prrr:
Paparazzi Those who make the rich and famous actually pay for being rich and famous by haunting them, even to death, if Princess Diana is any example, with exploding flashbulbs, leading often to exploding tempers from the celebrities
Possitive (Bierce himself said, "Mistaken at the top of one's lungs")
Nit Pick
Nit Pick - to be Royally painful to another's anus - especially if the other doesn't give a flying toss about whatever the hell the first is on about
Take my landlord (Please!) for example - the house itself has no character, but the driveway lets in lots of leaves - these give it some character - but he doesn't like the house having character so at six am on a Wintry Sunday hangover he'll be out there with a 10 h.p. blower - and won't stop until every last leaf is back out on the street where 'it belongs'
Now, I have a really good suggestion where he can park his blower, though perhaps not in polite company - but I don't want to nit pick his 'character' unless I end up on the street where he may decide 'I belong'
fungi
fungi The mushrooms you love to eat on your pizza, hamburger, or steak, at least until you realize that slime molds are fungi as well. It is not good sense to pick your own fungi, as some that look delicious are but a gateway to death.
Regrets
Regrets - the delusion that one once had the power to change the universe - not so - and down there with 'shame' that one once had the power to change themself
Where a simple idea may have been acted upon causing a disruption that one may consider regretful - the solution could be as simple as not to get so drunk the next time - or more drunk - depending upon the nature of the transgression
Party
Party: In politics, one's gang affiliation.
Travesty
Travesty In the courtroom, for a rich defendant to be found guilty on all charges or a poor person to be found not guilty, the news will treat them both the same
Police
Police - Special sector of society that doesn't like its time wasted - yet doesn't mind wasting yours
Expensive to operate, ever ill-equipped, slow to react and always too late - and we wonder why crime's on the increase
Money
Money - <............................................>*
Owl
*Definition excised. Subject too tight to mention.
Owl A bird said to be wise, but has a single word vocabulary, "Who"
Yardbird
Yardbird - arguably where all this metal business began
You've got your Heavy Metal, you've got your Thrash Metal, you've got your Doom Metal, you've got your Death Metal, you've got your Black Metal, you've got your Bubblegum Metal, you've got your Grandma Metal, you've got your Metal Metal, you've even got your Metal Metal Metal
But before any of it was a Yardbird flapping it's wings in slow steady sweeps (beats) and squawking away like so many distorted guitars
And so a legend was born...
Such was its modesty it didn't even call itself Metal - if it had it would probably have called itself Bird Metal
Modesty
Modesty The little move by which a woman with 75% visible cleavage pulls her skirt down over her knees...
Moral
Moral (1) - an element of personal philosophy that needs to be meted - those with them tend to have too many, and those without are in desperate need (though blissfully unaware of the fact)
Moral (2) - strange little ineffectual twist to an otherwise potentially interesting tale - in the hands of a skilled story teller it is best applied with subtlety if at all, not troweled on with a shovel (I'm looking at you Pinocchio!)
Log
...'meted'?
meted - allotted, apportioned, measured, doled (out)
(and quite a number of others too, like a boundary, a gate, a fence etc)
log
log:- a verb that collectively defines the action of a man sitting on a piece of wood and using his personal computer to make some mathematical calculations.
non-vegetarianism:-
