'Embolden' (weak)

Mmmmmmm. Concupiscent curds.

Do you think Bush’s plan to surge troop levels will embolden the Curds?

Damn you. I came in here to say embiggen.

No, “alright” will never look all right to me. But I wouldn’t start a Pit thread over it.

May God forbid it, lest we be accosted by a brazen jalapeno jack.

No Whey!

This post has been emboldened by the emboldinator.

Your post has been graped by the emgrapinator!

Anyone who spells St. John “Sinjin” is in no position to judge. At any rate, I was going with the Irish Country variant, c. 1683.

Forest for the trees, people. Forest for the trees…

Pit nuculear and the endless use of robust. I can not spell nucular like he says it.They piss me off.Next time Rice says robust ,the questioner should sucker punch her.

My comments regarding the OP are in the other thread where born too late demonstrates that he is a full-fledged ass, not just a half-assed poster.

There was one question, however, that led me to post here, too…

Don’t most rats flee from sinking ships rather than to them?

Not if they’re elite search and rescue rats.

I made no claim to be a smart rat.

I love those guys, with their little one-shot casks of brandy tucked under their chins. They’re great when you’re trapped under fallen timbers in a mine, because they can gnaw the timbers off of you. They’re not quite as good as the SAR beavers, though.

Not if they’ve been…

I’ve never heard of resuce rats, but I have heard of Rescue Ferrets

:cool:

Cite? (No really, I’ve never seen it spelled like that.)

I would cite it , but I made that part up. So, my post is my cite.

I found it on some blog or other while I was looking up archaic terms to throw at the OP. It was in a list of other words, and frankly, I did not make the connection to “blackguard.” I just figured it was a noun and threw it in.

Just for you.

I believe that should be ‘Llama, llama, duck’.

So you were talking about lunch. Big whoop. I guess maybe your sympathies lie with Shrub because you are also given to coming up with new!!! improved!!! words? (note the bold).

For the edification of the OP, and a poke in the eye to the detractors of same OP, Jon Stewart did a hilarious bit mocking ‘Embolden’ on the show I watched tonight. It’s not up at his site yet but when it is you must watch. I was laughing too hard to keep track of the numerable comedicious words Jon and John conglomerized but I think some are worthy of adopting into English permanently. Point was, he also thinks Bush is an ass with all his ‘embolden’ bullhockey.

BTW, a quickie search of the major reference sources for quotations found ‘embolden’ - in documents written prior to the last century. As for the google hits, many are dictionary references, others are news stories about Shrub & co. and many more refer to old poems and plays. If it’s used in common parlance at all, it’s in the adjectival form, ‘emboldened’ (2,340,000 hits).
