A phero moan is vocal expression of a member of sex profession when payment is denied. At least, so I have been told. I was not merely a con-noser, Sixty eight plus one can be fun.
I think Faldage's empty posts are better than the legible ones.

Faldage's empty posts
A man of few words. There is no higher compliment you can pay to anyone on this thread, wwh. It is said that "a word to the wise is sufficient". How much more profound no word at all? Now, a single letter, wwh. A single letter can break a poet's heart ... especially when one is snozzing with a con-noseur. For instance: zzzzzzz

P.S. Perhaps he was just taking a post count. In any case, I got the message. Personally, I think we should honor this triumph of terseness ... with one niggling reservation, of course. An empty post should not contribute to the "official" post count ... however much it might contribute to our self-esteem. In any case, here is my honorific for an empty post: There is no adage like a Faldadage. They name celestial bodies after their discoverers. We should do no less for empty posters.

Dear plutarch: In your scenario, "aaaaaaa" is exultifying, "zzzzzzzz" is stultifying. As a switch, I encountered a word new to me:
stull
n.
5prob. < Ger stolle, a post, orig., short, thick prop: for IE base see STILL16 any of several kinds of supports or frameworks used in mines to prevent cave-ins
Can you think of a stull useful in the tunnel of love? (Folks, remember I didn't start this. I am thinking of Love Canal, in New York, a site EPA was detoxifying.)

okay, let's get this over with...
faldage is an im-poster
wwh is a bill-poster
this is my third(3rd) post to this thread... if I post again I will be a four-poster.
on the other hand, if I leave now, post haste, I will have, once again, committed apostasy. I think I may just do that and take up deltiology as a hobby. I should do it now and not postpone any longer.
-ron (pasquinade) obvious

Dear tsuwm: a virtuoso performance. But is "pasquinade" your substitute for BrylCreem?

"I have seen noses," says dr. bill, discussing what the nose communicates.
It is said that a man may have a wanderin' eye or a Ro-man nose.

I would like to say a few words about OEDies ... a subject which was mentioned earlier in this thread with something less than fulsome praise. Speaking for myself, I appreciate an OEDie which is threaded with surgical precision. In tribute to the golden OEdie, I have composed this brief paean which I hope will appeal to many if not to the allure. Cognition without cant
Chant without rant
Mantra without manna
From the Top Bah-nana.A wise man once said that next in honor to the originator of a quote is the person who deploys it aptly. While I confess I have felt overwhelmed at times by Pooh-pedantics, I have never been tsuwhammied by a good quote. Indeed, I have often been entertained and enlightened by them. And I hope to see more of them ... with one necessary qualification, of course. "Less is more".  Which reminds me, I am overstaying my welcome. I think I will volunteer myself for penance in Pooh-purgatory. And we ALL know where that is. [Horrors!]
