Name a common word, besides tremendous, stupendous, and
horrendous, that ends in -dous.

There's also the commonly used slang term "fantabulous" as in "fantastically fabulous" popular among black outfit wearing, Galouis smoking, Rayban wearing, too cool for school interior decorators and art school students.

Ezstrete,

Maybe I was a little harsher than your posts warranted, but you must admit that you did deserve some sort of smart ass response.

Not only did you not read the OP correctly, two posts before yours someone else made the same mistake which they pointed out in the post before yours, in a thread with a question that was answered in a column by Cecil which was linked in the second post and which had the crux of the column revealed in the third post. The thread is not that long and reading almost any other post in it's entirety would have prevented your errant post.

I've noted quitea few duhs on this thread, already (although most of them have been unspoken).
