[QUOTE=Cunctator] Thanks for that delightful mental image **Sonia**. I feel as though I need a shower now. [/QUOTE] Yeah, I know. I’m sorry. I like you and I was hoping that I’d never reveal my mental image of you, but somehow it slipped out. There’s something about these lighthearted threads that makes one throw discretion to the wind. Why not run my nom through an anagram generator and see if you can come up with something unflattering? Turn about and all. ---

When I was fifteen my parents got the roof and siding redone. It included “soffit and fascia” which me and my friends then adopted as a code term for “skanking” (or doing everything BUT) and used it for years. It still makes me smile to this day. ---

[QUOTE=Sonia Montdore] So, which base is soffit and which is fascia? [/QUOTE] Hmmm never thought of it in terms of 1st base, 2nd base. I’ll let you decide on that one. It was always more of a cumulative thing. Co -worker yesterday said he would take me to the gym for a boxing workout but he didn’t like other people using his “bag gloves”. I said I didnt want to touch his bag with or without his gloves, and especially didnt want to touch the gloves he uses for touching his bag. ---

sibilance argent (name) Wang _yari_ (explanation: _yaru_ means “to do,” in Japanese, also used colloquially like the equivalent in English when applied to a person. A form of the verb is used like a noun/adjective in compounds. The pure noun, _yari_, means spear, which is also more than vaguely sexual. I find it pretty amusing during martial arts classes when _sensei_ will say something that translates as, “When your partner thrusts with his spear . . .”) ---

[QUOTE=Girl From Mars] Wet riser. I see this sign inside buildings, no idea what it is! [/QUOTE] I believe it’s a pipeline used for firefighting that’s kept full of water - as opposed to dry standpipes which are also pipelines dedicated for firefighting, but which need to be filled up first. And it doesn’t take a whole lot of dirty mind to picture what those firefighters could be doing with their pressurized hoses if they weren’t trying to put _out_ the fire. ---
