Met with new guy for lunch - I made a comment about being "sans car" yesterday and he asked me what sans meant. When I said without, he got mad and asked if I was trying to make him feel stupid.

Please, just give me my spinster badge and dozen cats now.....

He flunked.

Ugh. I hate that. How is someone with a very good working vocabulary able to guess which words are deficient in the other person's vocabulary?

In this case, even limiting your vernacular to monosyllabic words wouldn't help.
 
1. If eating the honey doesn't work, just eat the bees
2. Fata is a looker, that's for sure. I'd bang her.
 



ochlophobia, n., a phobia, or fear, of mob-like crowds, as opposed to simply open spaces like agoraphobia or large crowds as with enochlophobia.


enochlophobia, n., (rare) fear of crowds.

He could have at least faked it - I mean we women have been doing it for YEARS! ;)

What if it is a mob of enchilada vendors in a wide open space?

You had lunch with Luk??

I've called women handsome before and people didn't get it either.

Ah, yes. I think that was a bit more common long ago, and I've used it, too. Though, usually not to compliment, but when describing them.

Hi calli :)

butters calls me gorgeous :eek:

Hi Harry. :) And, of course she does!

I like that word. It's taken on special meaning for me.



...and I treasured each compliment. :p

That pleases me; I give them sincerely. ;)

Those are the best kind.

With regard to handsome women, I use it mostly for women that have classic, patrician faces with great bone structure who age really well. Lauren Bacall was a handsome woman.

I should try winsome at times, but I don't have a feel for the word, having never seen it used outside of books.

"I picture Calli with a winsome smile, one that lights up an overcast day."

I think handsome works well for women who are attractive but whom you might not refer to as pretty or beautiful.

For a moment, I was rather tickled by the thought that you pictured me, then I realized it was in quotes, and only used as an example. Still, it's a lovely thing to read.



You should see her am pics thread.

Wow.

You really should. I'm pretty fucking incredible.
