Browsing the topics I came upon the "new" words.It reminded me of a word used (coined?) by my chum Mr. Helms to describe the regular patrons of a bar. "Dregulars." Anyone heard that before? I found it a perfect picture word! wow

regular patrons of a bar. "Dregulars."

But do they wear velvet capes and have long canines?

Busted!I use Gawd instead of the name of the Diety. (Insert face with eyes raised to heaven in gaze pleading forgivness.) You are correct about gadzooks. Gawd zooks is my made up phrase allowing me to flirt with the profane (as opposite to profanity.)

Who wants to take John Cleese's role as High Priest - "Are there any women here?"

I was calling down blessings on you all.
But you are correct, I slipped.
However "God is propitious to me ...my sins are forgiven"
Aren't they?

Is this the patron saint of slimmers, Max?

To err is human, to really foul things up requires computers.
