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]

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?

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."
