When this boy..........now 24..........was only 13, he wrote an essay from the perspective of a Viet Nam vet suffering from survivor guilt because his two buddies were killed who were Christian, and he, who was not, survived.

It absolutely floored me.

Now he's got a degree in PoliSci/International Relations, and is about to finish his Masters in Int Rel, and is doing an Internship for a Publishing company in DC doing editing.

That love of words got him the job......and will take him far.

btw, I plan to use JARGOGLED the next time I run into another confused Bush basher who thinks Reagan was a god.

I wonder if Ben Franklin used it to describe anyone....... :)

You must be VERY proud, indeed; your son is an amazing young man, in so many different respects! Of course, as his mother, I'm confident that you had a great deal to do with the way he turned out.

"JARGOGLED"? Oh my goodness...you've got me there and I can't even find it in any of my dictionaries. LOL

I give up...what does that word mean?

This is like when I read POSSESION and wound up reaching for a dictionary, every few chapters. I have a better than average command of the English language, but every now and again, get humbled by being hit with an arcane word or three.
