Don't you? I would think that would be a vote against it. Such mannerism is not a sign of a true definition.

Lots of great stuff, the kind you want to vote for just to honor the chuckles and/or weirdness. But K struck me as the only really tangible offer, even though, like mav, I never encounterd that term in any of my theatre studies, until...I got to V which struck me as being entirely too strange, too out there, to be contrived, but, I'll have to reign-in those mouse-tails and heave-ho with K , 'kay?

(That was just to get zed in there, milo.) Well, this is why I don't play this game here. Playing the dictionary game in Reality gives you more information, from the dialectic of the table.
