I am really pithed off!!! (Warning)

[FlamingoBlue]

Recently, I recieved an email suggesting that one of my submissions on the BB was pithy. Well, I was pithed off until I looked the word up in the dictionary and found out its meaning.

There are certain words that you know are not flattering, just by the way they sound. For instance: mouldy,cyst, or obsequious, to name a few. But for me, pithy takes the prize.

It's true, somedays you pith all over the place.

Better to be pithed off than pithed on.

Unless of course you're into that kind of thing. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

 

[Sparky Kronkite]

Hey?

Pith on you!

Damn -

Someone should have known better then to label a lawyer's writing "pithy!" BTW, it means "terse, full of substance or meaning." Terseness, of course, is the 8th deadly sin for attorneys.

Has any one seen my pith helmut?

 

[bluntforcemama]

Don't be pithy.... just ignore the pither.

 

[cymbidia]

Pithy is as pithy does.

Oh pith off!

Good lord, Blue, I though this was going to be about dental issues.


Whew!

Tom Clancy

[Sephiroth]

LOL Come on people! Don't turn this into a pithing contest!

 

[Svedish_Chef]

I cant help it, I'm really pithed off.

 

[A_Jacks]

I thought pithy was good, like you had fibre, or something.

Backbone.

Or is it the plural for python?

I forget.

 

[FlamingoBlue]

Then, there's the ever famous....

Pith up a rope and pithing in the wind.
