HAGLIDE??

I was wondering, especially as our prescriptivist padre seems to have accepted this "word" without a murmur.

I'm practicing my cross-threading. If you look across the way at the "Funda" thread, you will see that wofahulicodoc wrote "I'm going arbitrarily to throw out HAGLIDE and from the rest blindly choose K, even though some body else already did." This was in the "voting" for a game of Hogwash. At first, I thought that HAGLIDE must be a word, maybe a good one with which to play Hogwash, until I figured out that those were the letters attached to the definitions he was rejecting. Instead of putting them down in alphabetical order, he made a word out of them. So I used that word to make a "thingie" in Consuelo's thread about sentences made out of words beginning with each successive letter in a word, a word like "HAGLIDE" f'rinstance.
Jah, I know. I need to get a life and apply my meagre talents to more constructive ends. I'll try harder. [mumbling to himself emoticon]

Dear tsuwm,
You and Anu must get out of the house more often...

thob: to rationlize an opinion, esp.political.
e.g. a fool with an infiniate ability to thob.
Note: like thigging, thobing becomes a intransitive verb.
