The most beautiful word in the English language is.....

[kmoney]

Lorelei (pronounced Lorelie)

It's my daughter's name.

I've known one girl with that name. :up: Pretty name. And she was one of the prettiest girls I knew. :Shimei:

You'll need to fight the boys off when she's older. :jeffrson:
:noid:

 

[Town Heretic]

Mucus and maggot are a couple of nasty ones. :shocked:

There is a bar near my house called Annie Bailey's. I always thought that sounded nice. :cheers:

There is also a bar near my house named Stubby's. That one isn't as nice.

I love these, kmo! Annie Bailey's sounds warm and fun, like everyone there would be having a good time, laughing with friends in a good Irish humor. It's evocative. Stubby's sounds like a gangster watering hole. Either one would be great in a movie setting. :thumb:

[The Barbarian]

I had to look that up in the dictionary, but apparently m-w doesn't know what it is either. What does it mean?

Sorry, hit the wrong key. Drosophila. Must have had Dryopithecus on my mind.

Technically, they aren't fruit flies, but most people call them that. The Tephritidae are true fruit flies. BTW, "Dryopithecus" is a rather nice-sounding word as well.

[Bright Raven]

Jesus, Name above all names.

Is it still a cellar if there isn't a wine rack in it?

 

[Eeset]

Is it still a cellar if there isn't a wine rack in it?

No then its a basement.

 

[Town Heretic]

Is it still a cellar if there isn't a wine rack in it?

Is it really a truck without a gun rack in it? :nono:

 

[PureX]

Cellers are made of brick or stone. Basements are made of cement block or cast cement. That's my rule of thumb, anyway.

OK. How would you define the underground chambers of homes built above natural caves? I know of many dwellings with deep multi story underground caverns. They are wonderful for wine storage because of the temperature which maintains a constant 56 degrees F.

I would say that's exceedingly rare. But if they're caves, I guess I'd call them caves.

[Flipper]

Murmuration

 

[annabenedetti]

Murmuration

I had murmur earlier in the thread.

I didn't know what (a) murmuration was until I looked in the dictionary:

1. an act or instance of murmuring.
2. a flock of starlings.

I learned something new today. Well, several new things, but this is the most recent...

Thanks, Flipper.
