I was working on a 'word match' when <puist> was one of the words I didn't recognize. I can't find any references to it. Anybody know this word. Maybe it's a misprint. The answer key for it: In comfortable circumstances

Also anybody have a saucy defintion for: Wundergeezer

Not even in the OED.

Googling yields 13,400 hits. One in the first ten is an acronym, the other nine are all either Gaelic or Dutch. Go figure.

Welcome aBoard, sweetbilly.

I wrote to the editor of that word match, no response - so I guess she couldn't tell me what I wanted to know <grin>

Thanks for the welcome. Say, how do I change my Title from 'stranger' to something else? 'Profile' would seem the place to go but didn't see an entry for it.

I have an old LP somewhere with a Finnish punk band that covers Twist and Shout. When they sing it, twist sounds like puist. Not saying that's what it means, just noodling ...

Definitely. Gosh, after 2500+ posts 'carpal tunnel' would be a most unwelcomed reward.

well, you might not worry about making a "PU" if you are in comfortable circumstances... so one would be a pu-ist...

(please forgive me, I teach in a middle school...)

and welcome, billy!

Think of it as a 'frequent shopper card', sweetbilly.

Welcome, Will. I ran the def. through Onelook's reverse look-up, and nothing even came close. Here's the list, if you want to take a gander:
