I'm pulling my hair out trying to find a word and it's definition. Help?

Posted on 09/12/2006 5:38:51 PM PDT by Conservababe

I heard this word used verbally in a sentence...it is not part of the "paradine". I have spelled it as I heard it, but have no idea of the spelling or meaning. I have tried to look it up using online dictionaries using different spellings with no luck.

Can someone help?

Yes, that fool man thinks he is only going to give me a pair of dimes in the settlement.

Pair of Dimes

As in, "Hey, give me a pair of dimes so I can call my mother-in-law and tell her what a bitch she is."

Paradigm shift, huh.

Leave it to those fancy european car companies to come out with a high tech stick shift.

Can it burn the tread off the tires in sixty seconds without moving forward an inch? Gotta have one of those.

I am in a mood to finally look for single men on FR tonight. If you have a MIL, you won't qualify.

Does FR have a dating forum?

Although it was written by a guy, here's a singles advert to study:

I especially chuckled at the line:
"Fortune desirable but not a precondition"

Who says Germans don't have a sense of humor?

Good catch!

It's Scots Gaelic: "War or Peace". It's an old bagpipe about the Highlander contempt for either and preference for neither.

Piper Kevin McKay played it 'outside the square' in the Battle of Waterloo....

Hmmmmm...I have been skeptical of the online sites for matchmaking. But, I guess this went on long before the internet was invented.

If I do make a profile and all that, I will certainly include "fortune desirable but not a precondition".

LOL

para-ping-odyne.

def. (n) from the Latin parodinomento.

A sceintific term in the study of Physics that describes what happens to a neutrino "whena the moon hitsa your eye like a bigga pizza pie..."

Usually the neutrino will deflect to the left due to the subatomic spin!

I have only a small sample size...but I do have a female cousin (late 30s)
that may be making a trip down the aisle via e-Harmony.
The deal ain't sealed yet...but this is closer than she has ever come (as far
as I know via family gossip).

As they say in old war movies: "Good luck and good hunting!"

I have not the vaguest idea what your post means. I really should put a pancake on my head. LOL

Paradigm.

And if you actually use it, we'll have to kill you.

Oh good grief, I have been down the aisle twice. But, in my defense, I should say that I have been married 40 years out of my 59 years.

In college my buddies and I were sorta geeks. We invented a game, "The Dictionary Game." Each person will act as moderator and select a word that no one knows the definition of. The moderator announce What is the definition of the word zebu? If no one knows the word then he will write down, (paraphrasing is allowed), the real definition. Everyone else must make up a definition and then turn it in to the moderator.

The moderator will shuffle the definitions up and then read them while maintaining a straight-face! Everyone then guesses which defition is the real one.

Scoring: Each person gets a point for their definition being picked. The moderator can only score if no one guesses the realm definition. Then he scores one point for all participants.

I've taught and played this game at parties where the drunker the weather got the more outrageous the definitions became. You'll note that certain people will have a pattern of similar definitions.

It can be a real hoot!(I guess)

BTW if you didn't guess it, my definition was "made up"! Are you hootin'?
