And I learnt the very useful French (possibly Swiss French) phrase "machin-truc-chose" which effectively means "thing-thing-thing" Rod Ward Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Entire Thread Subject Posted By Posted tip of the tongue nagrao 03/29/2001 1:22 PM Re: tip of the tongue wwh 03/29/2001 2:10 PM Re: tip of the tongue inselpeter 03/29/2001 2:27 PM Re: tip of the tongue rodward 03/29/2001 2:41 PM Re: tip of the tongue wwh 03/29/2001 2:49 PM Re: tip of the tongue Flatlander 03/29/2001 2:39 PM Re: tip of the tongue inselpeter 03/29/2001 2:56 PM Re: tip of the tongue Jackie 03/29/2001 3:04 PM Re: tip of the tongue Bobyoungbalt 03/29/2001 3:37 PM Re: tip of the tongue tsuwm 03/29/2001 3:41 PM Re: tip of the tongue Hyla 03/29/2001 4:09 PM Re: tip of the tongue Anonymous 03/29/2001 6:09 PM Re: tip of the tongue Bobyoungbalt 03/29/2001 7:08 PM Re: tip of the tongue Hyla 03/29/2001 8:14 PM Re: Phlegethon wwh 03/29/2001 7:26 PM Re: tip of the tongue rodward 03/29/2001 4:40 PM Re: tip of the tongue Anonymous 03/29/2001 3:46 PM Re: tip of the tongue maverick 03/29/2001 3:52 PM Re: tip of the tongue Anonymous 03/29/2001 3:57 PM Re: tip of the tongue wow 03/29/2001 4:00 PM Re: tip of the tongue rodward 03/29/2001 4:32 PM Re: tip of the tongue Bobyoungbalt 03/29/2001 7:15 PM One-a-days Jackie 03/29/2001 8:11 PM Re: tip of the tongue nancyk 03/29/2001 11:57 PM Re: tip of the tongue Bobyoungbalt 03/30/2001 3:55 PM Re: tip of the tongue Anonymous 03/30/2001 5:15 PM Re: tip of the tongue inselpeter 03/30/2001 5:23 PM Re: tip of the tongue Sparteye 03/30/2001 5:51 PM Re: tip of the tongue nancyk 03/30/2001 9:20 PM Re: tip of the tongue Max Quordlepleen 03/30/2001 9:28 PM Re: tip of the tongue inselpeter 03/31/2001 1:06 PM Re: tip of the tongue Bingley 04/01/2001 1:43 PM reading labels--or anything handy! of troy 03/30/2001 7:49 PM Re: reading labels--or anything handy! nancyk 03/30/2001 8:52 PM Re: tip of the tongue rodward 04/02/2001 10:10 AM Re: tip of the tongue Bobyoungbalt 03/29/2001 7:04 PM Re: tip of the tongue Geoff 03/30/2001 3:33 AM Re: tip of the tongue inselpeter 03/30/2001 11:31 AM Re: ED.edu inselpeter 03/30/2001 1:41 PM Moderated by  Jackie  Hop To General Topics ------  Information and announcements  Q&A about words  Wordplay and fun  Words and languages in schools  Miscellany  Weekly Themes  Looking for (writers, speakers,...
