The intern left her job with the President after allegations he received cumshaw during his term of office

manalone · 06-13-2003, 01:43 PM

The Park Ranger approved of Reforestation, but reacted badly to Defenestration.

manalone · 06-13-2003, 01:49 PM

Of all the books of the bible Exodus requires exegesis only in extraordinary examples.

GakFace · 06-13-2003, 02:27 PM

You failed the english exam because your exegesis was not that of the professor's.

GakFace · 06-13-2003, 02:35 PM

The act of defenestration on his computer was caused by his it locking up as he was leading the game in first place.

Andric · 06-13-2003, 02:36 PM

My mom always said, "How many times to I have to give you an exegesis? Brush your teeth before you go to bed!"

GakFace · 06-13-2003, 02:40 PM

Cumshaw is one helluva way to leave freely from jail in D&D, but it has to be my favorites too

QuasiMojo · 06-13-2003, 04:48 PM

Mr. Coleslaw, also known as "King Scrimshaw" was known to have deep pockets for the cumshaw he had to throw the way of the authoritys so that he would have endless supplies of illegal ivory in which to practice his craft.

QuasiMojo · 06-13-2003, 04:50 PM

The book, "V.A.L.I.S" by Phillip K. Dick is his exegesis on life, God and the duality of the universe

QuasiMojo · 06-13-2003, 04:55 PM

Little Jimmy Hefflefinger, the town kook, was known for miles around for his annual act of lunacy on this day. His antics never failed to culminate in the public display of devouring insects and
self-defenestration.

clavus · 06-13-2003, 06:29 PM

The Son of God and I used to date, but now He's my exegesis.

vermin · 06-13-2003, 06:43 PM

Mary's exegesis about parenting was worth listening to.

Bullshit!
"kam sia" is not from the pinyin system. It doesnt even obey the laws of pin yin
The correct romanization is "gan xie"

goaterizer · 06-14-2003, 12:38 AM

Exegesis' are great for hemroids

Maybe it can be romanised with the Pin Yin system to a properly polite and respectful post.

The Word of the Day for June 16 is:

hew • \HYOO\ • (verb) 1. to cut or fell with blows (as of an ax); 2. to give shape to with or as if with an ax; 3. to conform, adhere

A little more information about today’s word:
"Hew" is a strong, simple word of Anglo-Saxon descent. It can suggest actual ax-wielding, or it can be figurative: "If . . . our ambition hews and shapes [our] new relations, their virtue escapes, as strawberries lose their flavor in garden-beds" (Ralph Waldo Emerson). It's easy to see how the figurative "shape" sense of "hew" developed from the literal hacking sense, but what does chopping have to do with adhering and conforming? That sense first appeared in the late 1800s in the phrase "hew to the line." The "hew line" is a line marked along the length of a log indicating where to chop in order to shape a beam. "Hewing to the line," literally, is cutting along the mark—adhering to it—until the side of the log is squared.

My sentence (using definition #3):
It was simpler and cheaper to hew to tradition when it came to a wedding dress, Sylvia found out, and finally she gave up on the pale green satin gown she'd dreamed of.

Based on Merriam-Webster's Collegiate® Dictionary, 10th Edition.

mrsandman · 06-16-2003, 04:21 AM

I hadn’t noticed the patrol car parked there, so I got a ticket for making a hew-turn.

Pardon me.

redravin40 · 06-16-2003, 05:54 AM

Paul Bunyon was able to hew, trim and float an entire forest before breakfast.

rogue49 · 06-16-2003, 06:06 AM

Many authority figures want you to hew to the line.

spectre · 06-16-2003, 09:02 AM

If some of the lurkers don't start participating, they may find themselves hewed.

Andric · 06-16-2003, 01:20 PM

It's a tree, I see... Let's hew a canoe.

GakFace · 06-16-2003, 02:45 PM

"You want me to do what?!?"
>> HEW!
"Yes, ME... What do you want me to do?"
>>HEW! , With Us!!
"Uh... Ok I'm with you guys, just tell me......"

[edit] I used the third meaning... aka Conform, I had to pun it as well

[edit]

vermin · 06-16-2003, 03:43 PM

I'd eschew a ewe who'd hew a yew.

JadziaDax · 06-17-2003, 02:02 AM

The Word of the Day for June 17 is:

interdigitate • \in-ter-DIH-juh-tayt\ • (verb) to become interlocked like the fingers of folded hands

A little more information about today’s word:
It probably won’t surprise you to learn that "interdigitate" comes from the prefix "inter-," as in "interlock," and the Latin word "digitus," meaning "finger." "Digitus" also gave us "digit," which is used in English today to refer to (among other things) the finger or toe of any animal. "Interdigitate" usually suggests an interlocking of things with fingerlike projections, such as muscle fibers or the teeth of an old-fashioned bear trap. The word can also be used figuratively to imply a smooth interweaving of disparate things, such as the blending of two cultures within a shared region.

My sentence:
"The edges [of the expansion joints built into many bridges] often are shaped like combs, the teeth of one interdigitating with teeth of the other."
-- The Washington Post, January 14, 1998

Based on Merriam-Webster's Collegiate® Dictionary, 10th Edition.

After getting into trouble, the boy had to sit in the corner with his hands interdigitated.

rogue49 · 06-17-2003, 05:40 AM

The little kids love it when I play with interdigitating my hands in different ways.

"here's the church..."

redravin40 · 06-17-2003, 05:59 AM

In marriage two peoples lives become interdigitated.

mrsandman · 06-17-2003, 06:01 AM

Because she was forced to interdigitate, her prowess at mathematical equations was not evident.

Daval · 06-17-2003, 06:57 AM

I'd like to interdigitate with Natasha!

Cynthetiq · 06-17-2003, 07:12 AM

Alisha Klass has interdigitated her fingers and fisted some girl to a cataclysmic orgasm.

JadziaDax · 06-18-2003, 01:58 AM

The Word of the Day for June 18 is:

kismet • \KIZ-met\ • (noun, often capitalized) fate

A little more information about today’s word:
Is it your fate to tie macrame while drinking coffee and eating sherbet in a minaret? That would be an unusual destiny, but if it turns out to be your kismet, you will owe much to Turkish and Arabic. We borrowed "kismet" from Turkish in the 1800s, but it ultimately derives from the Arabic "qismah," meaning "portion" or "lot." Several other terms in our bizarre opening question (namely, "macrame," "coffee," "sherbet," and "minaret") have roots in those languages too. In the case of "macrame" and "minaret," there is a little French influence as well. "Coffee" and "macrame" also have Italian relations, and "sherbet" has an ancestor in a Persian name for a type of cold drink.

My sentence:
"It was at this point in his career that kismet arranged his meeting with the young man who one day was to begin the undoing of it all."
-- Theodore Bonnet, The Mudlark

Based on Merriam-Webster's Collegiate® Dictionary, 10th Edition.

Remember kids: only Cohen The Barbarian is cunning enough to cheat Kismet.

rogue49 · 06-18-2003, 03:18 AM

I said to her, "I had a feeling when we met, it was kismet."

mrsandman · 06-18-2003, 04:08 AM

When my kismet Spiderman, they were totally in awe.

redravin40 · 06-18-2003, 05:48 AM

It was kismet that we would meet, milady.

spectre · 06-18-2003, 07:45 AM

Many people feel that kismet can't be avoided.

vermin · 06-18-2003, 07:55 AM

Kismet is located near Parramatta in Sydney Australia; they specialise in bold and beautiful rats with spectacular temperaments and are currently working on berkshire, blaze and the occasional self rat in a variety of colours.
