Somebody used the word "propaganda" in the Lt Dan thread.
I love the word "propaganda". I don't know why.
I also get a kick out of henchmen, minions, scoundrel, abscond, and of course, tittilate.

#1 = muck
#2 = suboptimal, particularly when used to describe a really bad action or choice
also rapscallion, monkey, lumbago, extant, absquatulate, thumbdick, deliquescence, scintillating (when used sarcastically), clamber, dingleberry, lugnut and "Shellarian" pattern - no idea how spelled or even if that is the correct pronunciation - used to describe the swirling mixing of fluids of different viscosity that are miscible, like pouring milk into coffee, which i find beautiful to watch and so the term comes to mind often.

I had an acquaintance who would use scintillating as his primary, and almost exclusive, adjective. He used it seriously, but he only barely spoke English, so he seemed quite proud of it. Other than him, I don't think I've ever heard this word spoken in less than half-jest.

Just because one word sounds very close to another does make them similar in meaning, for example:

Virginia - vagina
nope, not even remotely close in meaning. But I'm sure you'd tell all people in Richmond not to say their state's name out loud, as it might offend someone.

No fukin' kidding! You mean the words I used as examples DON'T have anything in common??? Wow! Who knew????
Well, those of us who understood that that was exactly my point did. You didn't. But that's okay.
You see,the words "nigger" and "niggardly" ALSO have nothing in common except that they SOUND ALIKE.
Get it????
Claws is not offensive.
Never said it was. Only used as an example that two words might sound alike without having anything to do with one another. Like the original two words we are talking about.
Fu ck and truck have nothing to do with each other, except for the fact that they RHYME.
Um....yeah. My point exactly. Duh.
and with the Virginia example, it is derived from the Virgin Queen, not VAGINA you [censored] moron.
Again....my point exactly. Never once was I inferring that one word was derived from the other.
That was the whole fukin' point of this post, you freakin' idiotic, read-at-a-7th grade-level nimrod.
Now go back and re-read my post and you just MIGHT understand it.

I'd just like to thank you for your original post. Most fun I've had without cards in my hand and big piles of chips in front of me in a long time. Especially with everything going on right now on the Gulf Coast. I have a lot of friends and family down there and the diversion has been cathartic. (hey, there's a good one! word, I mean)
I hope everyone else who's enjoying it has taken the time to rate it. (for those who haven't noticed, it's at the bottom of the page.
