Ulna a few of them were within a close radius, and many of them were in an ill humerus.

i encountered one in Tiscali that I don't remember seeing in previous lists:
"Effendi" a title of respect, used like our "sir".

From Uncle Bill's list: samizdat
I thought this one was Russian-- didn't Rudy Chelminski use it as a WAD a while back?

It *is Russian. The sam- means self and the -izdat is from some other word I don't remember what, but it's some Russian compound initialism or something like that.

Samizdat, a phenomenon which began after Khrushchev's secret speech at the Twentieth Communist
Party Congress in 1956, meant the private reproduction of books, documents, letters, essays, literary
works, translations, reprints from formerly published and until recent times forbidden publications, by
means of typing and retyping them for dissemination by private citizens. These publications were thus
completely free of censorship.

Another word from Arabic: so long
Oh, OK, it's a phrase.

Dear Faldage: I think "Soo Long" was a variety of Chinese tea.

Dear Faldage: I think "Soo Long" was a variety of Chinese tea.
A dimly remembered lyric, which I can't find on google. Can anyone help? Titled "Teapot's a-Whistlin', Darling", I think.
Oolong, souchong -- so long!
You take a lump or too?
Catnip; sassafras; acapulco peppermint;
Let me tell it to you:
Teapot's a-whistling, darling,
But I'm feeling blue.
You went and got my steam up,
And now I'm sitting on the fire for you.
