Had to look that one up - sounded religious
BUT
the first sentence mentioned "perversion" - so - no?
Having read the full detail I am still perplexed:
Do the comings (& goings?) of the couple depend on the tattooing
beforehand or during?
Any experts out there?

I was thinking more along the lines of [a fanatic ].
Taking from the meaning of Glossolalia to repeat. Something a fanatic would do repeat.

Humor has been the general thought through out this thread. I was hoping it would come off as humorous.

lemma - i looked it up, but it didn't prove a thing!
So I'll go with my first thought -
lemma - A south American beast of burden, with citrus flavoured spit.

As we follow the thread I've noticed some really great responses to words by everyone.

Lemma (logic), which is simultaneously a premise for a contention above it and a contention for premises below it

wale - a large water creature with a silent "h" - eg Umpback Wale
or Soutern Wrigt Wale

Well Mr. Oth, I see I must "wale" between your above statements, but I choose this one:

wale to choose; the act of choosing HA HA

OK, see what either of your two Gentleman come up with this one:

wallfish

Maybe the chance to answer Oth's query of Lemma & wallfish at the same time.

Lemma (logic), which is simultaneously a premise for a contention above it and a contention for premises below it

Wallfish

The premise is to define wallish the word above.

I contend that wallfish is that dried out fish some fishermen think makes a great wall decoration.

However my real sense of the word makes me contend that fishing a wire through a finished wall makes the other definition kind of dumb. A wallfish is the ability to run a wire through a finished wall.

To believe one over the other leads to this word

Oth's turn.

I'm betting he comes up with a really good definition.

it's an admission re Timber used in nativity scenes
Some say the manger was made of mahogany, others hickory -
but as it's Christmas, they would have used the Yule log, so the
debaters, all being Jewish, viewed it through their lenses & concurred -

OK - Yule are!



"Aglet" - unnoticed until missing!

Word of the day!!

Aglet - small plastic or metal tip at the end of a shoelace
Definitely right no-one notices them till they're gone.

Lucky for me I speak spanish & could read your lips. What you said in spanish, is nothing to be embarrassed about. For those that can't read lips and understand spanish she said she could use some help with her "jippo". Helping you with your "jippo" I'd bet any guy would be more than happy to.

New word

Jippo

If one of your fighting men were to win the CMH, & not posthumously,
he should be Honorificabilitudinitatibus

In my youth - "jippos" travelled in black cars & were wont to bless your money - at the same time attempting to acquire some of it! No longer seen, their caravans rolling into history - their attitude acquired by our children!
