Manfred set out, of an early morn, to bring order to his burgeoning garden with a trusty Craftsman many-tined rake. Along came Gaby, whose roque-like behavior made her unpredictable manner of speech just one more reason to blanche and run when neighbors saw her afoot. She espied Manfred, who was cooly and unruffled about his work while she harangued him mercilessly with this-and-that verbally injurious taunt.
"You are a rake and a blackguard, my dear man. It's a wonder such a bad man can have friends!" the old bag railed.
Manfred would have let it all pass; however, the bulbous biddy had pronounced "blackguard" like it looks, i.e., "black guard."
Drawing himself up to his full height, much as a bantam rooster might when feathers were all aruffle, the indignant Manfred riposted,
"If you're going to insult me, Gabriella Goosefinder, diss me right!"
Tail between her bowed legs, Gabriella trounced off red and indignant, for her departed-to-the-grammar-school-in-the-sky mother had, without success, continually endeavored to get her clueless daughter to pronounce less-familar words clearly and correctly . . .

Good morning, dear ladies!
Only in later life have I read ND mysteries, even wrote a few eponymous spoofs here on JWD/JWN.
Love your word offerings, Syl, but I am a gentleman and cannot incorporate woman-maligning terminology in my noble verse . . .
Otherwise, I'm available to romp about freely in a lexical manner of writing!
Love,
CoCo

However toxic it may have been to my fragile respiratory system, I loved inhaling the piney fumes of turpentine while describing arcs and serpentine coils in my paintings of florentine-like imagery.

Execrate and imprecate both take a direct object, so there's no apparent need to follow either verb with a preposition . . . methinks. . . .

Hi, Syl and Nancy!
in the year 2011, i was very ill with severe anxiety and panic attacks.. my psychiatrist prescribed two potent anti-depressants.. one day, when i was all alone, i heard a distinct voice say, "there are knives in the kitchen - small, medium, and large ...".
the voice trailed off, but the meaning was clear: use one of those knives on yourself!.
my niece in atlanta reported a similar experience when she was prescribed the same anti-depressants following a stillborn delivery.. i'm curious.. has anyone else experienced something like this?.
(((((SYL, and similarly suffering friends)))))
Love,
CC
