no, Emily, I was defending your placement of the thread. Jackie's just picking nits.

She does seem a bit snippy just now. Perhaps she has been subjected to too many needling posters of late.

no, Emily, I was defending your placement of the thread. Jackie's just picking nits. Did you know etaoin, that the Ukulele is made up of two words the first being Uku(fleas or nits) the second lele (fly, as in spread your wings and..) The sound a good Ukulele player made was likened to fleas jumping around on the strings.

I was hoping to avoid this, but feel now that I can't. Emily, you have made a total of three posts; none of them indicate anything more than that you seem to be looking for friends and/or romance. This is a language/word discussion board, and if you have any interest in those, I haven't been able to tell it. I am not inviting you to leave, but rather to indicate some interest in what this board is here for, if you have any. Most newcomers start off with a question about a word or a comment on one of the Words A Day. You didn't, is all.
eta, olly, and Aramis: all of you best watch it, or I shall be snipping you, sirs! (wink)

--run your cursor over the space beneath my last sentence (in the post above). Edit: Graak? Sounds like a burp; VERY bad manners!

At the risk of further annoying Jackie, the ukulele player is Jake Shimabukuru, a 30 year old Honolulu man. His name is Japanese. (Is this a language thread?) Emily
