Wordwind, this is good!
Brings to mind another question: Is a Plutarch plutish?

Is a Plutarch plutish?

No, but he has been brutish. [Ref. "Horrors!" thread]

And when do we get his biography?

Bingley

Bingley, remembering my own experiece, I'd say that by the time one attains the journeyman rank one feels familiar enough with board-practices to author a bio. And Plutarch is now quivering on the verge of that rank. (hint, hint)

Jackie started this thread asking, "Is a radish rootish?"
Leading to the further question, "Is our ravishing requester raffish?"

"Is our ravishing requester raffish?"
Hmm--I can't quite tell. Wordwind, are you?

Nice dodge, J, but that question was addressed to you!

Dag nab it, can't get away with anything around here.
But I can try: which definition did you mean, sir?

raffish: characterized by a carefree or fun-loving unconventionality; rakish.

The play of the last word with "ravish" and "raffish" surely rendered clear my intended definition!
Ogden Nash: "Miss Rafferty, in taffeta / Grew definitely raffisher / And less and less stand-offisher."

Jackie, wearing tafeta
Fears that folk will laugh at her,
Dear Jackie, no one's after ya' ...
Just answer the darn question!

Oh, NOW I get what the heretofore-mysterious ref.'s were in some private messages! Well, let me just say that my heretofore-posted posts have surely rendered clear my intended answer!
Nice verse, wow.

I like reddish radishes.

No, no, dr. bill, you relish reddish raddishes.

Presuming that said "dish" was indeed both ravishing and rakish (doubtless in a MaeWestian sense), and was viewed with relish by the raffish doctor, I can only say,
Down, boy!
"Physician, heel thyself!"

The only time I ever got ravished was by chaperone who came with student nurses to a party.The first time I ever encountered a furor coeundi greater than my own.
