in my job, i work with words and wrangle them into shape, well, in a manner of speaking.
one word might be mistaken for another, a word with either a similar or identical sound.

scutage:
(in a feudal society) money paid by a vassal to his lord in lieu of military service.
Sounds like the JW stand for men's military service in Mexico. I'm with you, Syl, on addendum!
Liege, Belgium, with grave accent over e, rendering the pronunciation lee-ej

General definition and first entry when searching for "malignant narcissist":
Kernberg described malignant narcissism as a syndrome characterized by a narcissistic personality disorder (NPD), antisocial features, paranoid traits, and egosyntonic aggression. Other symptoms may include an absence of conscience, a psychological need for power, and a sense of importance (grandiosity).
liege:
title underlings gave lord of the land in Medieval times
Thanks, Flipper and Syl!
new word:
addendum (the definition that references a distance)

Happy Mother's Day, dear ladies of the forum!
How greatly do I now regret having ceased "celebrating" dear lady friends and family I knew, upon my becoming a JW. They had all been so good and kind to me . . .

Happy Trails, Sylvia and other friends:
Off to a day of fun and games. Usually, it's secular work and chores at home -- nonstop.
This will be the ninth year in a row that dear friends, including former students, remember an aging young man's "special day." For years I was too afraid to say I'm a Gemini!
Fettuccine Alfredo au Poulet, main course, and chocolate cake and vanilla ice cream (per my request) for dessert. thereby my host dishing out my just deserts.
Yes, dear Snowbird, it's all right to indulge in dessert! As a matter of fact, I recently treated myself to two huge scoops of ice cream at our local creamery @ $3.53. The waitress and I were discussing ten cent scoops from childhood!
Love to all!

"Correct me if i'm wrong but stopper is an anglicism. As such, it more or less means whatever to stop means in English." [emendations mine]
ex:
stopper une voiture : to stop a car
stopper à un carrefour : to stop at a crossroads
stopper un dangereux criminel : to stop a dangerous criminalhttps://forum.wordreference.com/threads/the-use-of-the-verb-stopper.244158/
You're not incorrect, Sylvia; however, I was nonplussed when reading my French copy of said magazine and the caption for the ant was "Stop!" The article had something to do with man's efforts to change the oncoming rush of the end of the system of things, or some such.
Must've been pre-'75.
Thanks!

I remember an older Awake! (a magazine, anyway) that had an illustration of an ant holding up his hand to an oncoming locomotive, shouting "STOP!"
It was a French publication.

Hey, Sylvia!
Glad you saw that. I guess you are permitted to use big words on this thread as well!

It's easy to see which are "words" and those not. I believe the term acronym may include all of the above. As with everything else, opinions differ!
Have a blessed day!
