Post what you left, and what you got back! It’s amusing fun!
I left “I wish they’d understand…” and got back:
Maybe this means that S will call me tomorrow, because I’ve been disappointed in him the last couple of weeks… I can only hope, and expect not to get a phone call.
I sent:
"As I was following my dog up the stairs he let left some wind which may a “bee” line for my nostrils and mouth. Normally this wouldn’t bother me as I’d be past the cloud in only a second. But today he just stopped right there in the middle of the steps. Now this dog goes 120 pounds and getting around him in a narrow staircase is no easy task.
Now do you suppose that he stopped so that I would get the full affect of his emittance? I mean he is a male and all…"
I got back:
“ameliorate
\Amel"iorate, v. t. [imp. & p. p. Ameliorated; p. pr. & vb. n. Ameliorating.] [L. ad + meliorare to make better: cf. F. am['e]liorer. See Meliorate.] To make better; to improve; to meliorate.”
I just feel as if I didn’t get back what I put into it. I think the previous poster should ameliorate his/her posts.
okay I lied. I actually learned a new word today. hey, did I use it correctly?
“Roxell Roxell Bowshot” has come up in several SDMB messages. I believe it was Mangetout who found the phrase scrawled on a piece of paper and has been puzzled by it ever since.
I just wrote a paragraph which referred to a recent SDMB post. I won’t quote the text, but will admit to authorship if anyone receives my message. I got back a sentence in Spanish
which literally translates to “The mechanic put me.” Maybe there’s an idiomatic meaning (“the mechanic laid me”?) I didn’t learn in Spanish class.
