My dad who was in the Navy would say after dinner, “Girls, titivate the galley.”

Your Dad was a man of letters. Many received from home.

I over an Arkansas redneck woman talking about Hitlery she was saying; “That ‘ole sow just won’t titivate.”

There is no level on which I am capable of understanding the comment, but - Sherriff Clark is gonna git you.

Well, we’re all trying to get a look at all of them to prove they aren’t all the same, too.

This probably titivates all the negative publicity toward her:

They say that with a divorce there are 3 sides to the story — his, hers, and the real. Although some of her charges might be valid, I have no sympathy for her.

I do not at all condone spousal abuse. However, someone calculating knows what she is getting into.

Louis, you are so kind to give me this award. When I see my Dad, I know he will be very pleased. He is/ was (ret.) a proud Navy man. After the Americans liberated the Philippines, he could not wait to enlist (he was still under-aged at the time.)

Thank-you for a positive and enriching series on expanding the use and dispersion of our great language. You make this site worthwhile.
