Not to poke fun or anything, but don't forget that when the chips are down you have to have put in a good word to qualify...

Three blues? I didn't realize they were dirty words! Certainly not the first two; they've been [Hog]washed!

Goodwill has never been a part of Hogwash and Goodwill never will.

I didn't "look it up", I inadvertently clicked on it due to an embedded instict in me that makes me click on words I don't recognize, often unconsciously! this click operates the Babylon "single-click information" software. But I like I said, I only caught one word (from the definition) before I minded this is the "Hogwash word". Sheesh, you do criticize.




Logwood, I greatly admire your thirst for learning new words in a foreign language and your concern that you might be messing up Hogwash in some way. Don't let the monolingual nay-sayer get you down. He likes to stir up trouble: just ignore him. We've had worse around here -- he's actually pretty inocuous.

Hey Mister Hogmaster, I think that the Asp just called me "a monolingual inocuous". Can she do that and still be considered well-mannered?
