Loc: Lower Aberdeen, Mississippi Amen Rhubarb, not to mention neat, concise, and coherent.

Loc: Netherlands, the Hague Thanks >< I love concise, but mainly focussed on the non nautical use of the words. It just worked.

Loc: Netherlands, the Hague I hope you will countenance my delay as I tarry to bluff you out of your good performance; I do not gloze the fact that you are the paragon of weekly phrases.

Posts: 1 Matching forte to forte and foible to foible their conversation admitted neither victory nor surrender until her last riposte, tossed over her shoulder with consummate élan as she paused in the open door, struck him with the force of a physical blow, leaving him only the breath to sigh "Touché."
