'Mouth watering' was used descriptively in an article
I was reading today. I found myself trying to think of
other adjectives that begin with a part of the body:
'Mind-numbing'
'Heart-wrenching'
Others?
toe tapping
finger lickin'
eye-popping
(and in ny its more likely to be gut wrenching)
mind boggling!)
brow beating
back stabbing
groin kicking
toe-curling
knee-trembling
heart-stopping
lip-smackin'
(Prolly an adverb, as in "lip-smackin' good.")
cock of the walk
oh, maybe not....
hahahahahaha
gut-busting
hand-wringing
heart-lifting
tongue-curling (for bitterness)
lung-filling
earsplitting
spine-tingling
nail-biting
cock of the walk
oh, maybe not....
Oh, I am sooo not going there....
Anna,
Oh, go on...you know you want to. ;-)
You teasing me, Saranita?
I'm sure that all ASP really wants to say, but is too kindly to mention, is that "cock of the walk" isn't an adjective ...
What about "cockey," then. [/traipsing for cover]
Or "cocky", even. Getting pretty ballsy, aren't you, Insel?
balls
O, hairy, my predicament
lol! Watch out insel, that ASp'll bite you if you keep on rolling in the gutter :)
back breaking
ball busting
toe crushing
ear worming
>>bite you
Mercy on me fate unbidden, I so long in tooth
knuckle-busting
tongue-twisting
ass-kicking
The General de-livers spleen underarms lik tongues of fire
For soldiers are stiff-necked peckers
In all seriousness (or at least as much as can be mustered), "balls to the wall" is a legitimate addition to this thread.
Also, head strong and head-long.
"Balls!", said the Queen, "if I had them I would be King."
(attributed to Rudyard Kipling)
And the King laughed, not because he had to, but because …
No, no, noo: "The King laughed, not because he wanted to, but because..."
begin with a part of the body:
'Mind-numbing'No dualist has raised protest on this board so far

We don' fight no duals on this here board. We argufies with insult an' insinnuendo like civlized folk.

yup - all killing is limited to character assassination....
Well that's very interesting. Thanks for the info on "balls to the wall."
"sinister"
(right?) A shot in the arm to you, insel.
A shot in the arm
That's pretty gauche, if you ask me.

But dextrously done.
>But dextrously done.
It seemed a little maladroit to me. Certainly, in connection with this thread, something is queer, da?
>>I don't think so [pilots]<<
interesting
Only Polly Anna would have missed the double entendre, though -- I think it belongs.
Polly Anna
How bout someone who didn't miss the double entendre but still thinks it doesn't belong?
let's not get testy.
shirley they was thinking it.
>>still thinks it doesn't belong
That person and I, I think, would respectfully differ.
"Polly Anna," btw, was meant to refer to a species of pilot that surely never existed, and to nothing and no one else.

Heh.(R) ;)
