So this Tex-Mex was dipsetic, and possibly dyspeptic--let's just hope it wasn't septic!

Oops, I think I meant "dyspepsia-inducing". Forgive my agent-victim dyslexia; it must have been something I ate.

THIRSTIFYING It's inventive and creative--who cares about protocol. Reminds me of a story in 1965, when Tide advertised Intensified Tide. I have never heard that word since, but my then 4 year old brother loved using it. "Mom, are you using Intensified Tide?" he said almost daily. Or "Is this intensified?"

Dipsetic. You got that right!! That word does sound like septic, so therefore I think Thirstifying is more pleasing to the ears and imagination!!

i like tsuwm's "dipsetic" best, but i'd also submit "polydipsic" as a reasonably descriptive adjective in lieu of 'thirstifying'.

Quixotic? Say not so! Dipsetic is a great word, one that I shall be endeavouring to use whenever possible. Yours,

Thanks for the headsup, Faldage.
You people have been keeping me busy checking the archives to figure out what words like YART and ayleur mean! I do love inside jokes...

do it all in white. Well that was disappointing. White is more legible that yellow is.
