A blype on the hogwash radar

Wordsmith.org

The word is "blype". You have a se'nnight.

Is that a Canadian se'nnight or an SI se'nnight?

what in the world is a Sports Illustrated se'nnight?!

South Indonesian ...it is a Bingley thing.

Done... and I resisted the urge to make up a word which (claimed to be) derived from Hawaiian.

So, if I splain y'all what SI means do I get accused of missing the joke?

*ahem* Let me rephrase:

Definitions will be posted November 12th, or possibly the 13th.
SI - self-induced?

I didn't really intend any joke, other than feigning(?) obtuseness -- SI is published weekly.

Any Southern Intellectual worth a pittance knows that SI refers to
Le Syst�me International (SI) the World stardard of measurements.

"What is the SI unit of time?" you might ask.

The SI definition of a second is based on the radiation from the caesium-133 atom.
It is defined as "the duration of 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium-133 atom."

According to my calculations we players have almost exactly 832,482,192,337,228 oscillations to get our definitions in.

(Note to Hogmaster: I think you put the apostrophe in "sen'night" in the wrong place. It looks stupid where it is.)

An apostrophe stands in for missing letters in an abbreviation. "se'nnight" is an abbreviation of "sevennight". Whether or not you think it looks stupid is irrelevant.

>Whether or not you think it looks stupid is irrelevant.

heh.

So saith the tsuwm, who decides what is relevant. May God forgive him.

Milo is correct. Must is he knows a Southern Intellectual what tole him.

I have four definitions. I think there should be at least eight to post.

oops!

One of them is so good that you might print it twice.

Aw, shucks, Daddio. You peeked.

Aw, Father Steve, your modesty is exceeded only by your good looks.

your modesty is exceeded only by your good looks

They're about equal, actually.

Excuse me Hogmam, for interrupting but where are the definitions?

Tuesday night
Wednesday night
Thursday night
Friday night
Saturday night
Sunday night
This is Monday night, the seventh night, the so-called se'nnight.

So where are the definitions?

you (also) count funny -- the seventh night from Tuesday is..
wait for it.. Tuesday!

What tsuwm said; the first Tuesday was the zeroth night. Besides, she owes us a couple of days from last time she hogmastered.
