  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 criminal

  https://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!
