[Proper Bo]

The best word ever is: PLYNTH
It just sounds so damn great :D

[Buffalo]

Crocodile, Now thats a nice nice word

[Proper Bo]

doesn't beat orangutang

[Bender]

Still trying to figure out what "plynth" means; no results from Webster's, nore from The New Geordie Dictionary. :blink:
I have to admit it sounds good. :D




Ouagoudougou!

[Proper Bo]

:D I think it's the concrete slab above a window it could be spelled plynthe, i'm not sure
here's an attempt at a diagram;

I wonder who's been watchinng "The Krays"

[Sholix]

Why?

Best word ever given a meaning. B)

[Proper Bo]

what?

[J'Pol]

Plynth is not a word.

Orangutang is not a word.

The span above a window is a lintel.

[Proper Bo]

how can you say orangutang is not a word?? it's a big feckin monkey. I may have spelled it wrong though.
And i'm pretty sure plynth is a term for something along those lines.

Nevertheless I understood what you meant.

So it isn't a PLINTH, which is something like a doorstep according to Webster's ("the lowest part of the base of an architectural column"), and ie the opposite?


Sorry, I still don't believe this PLYNTH word exists (tried Google now too; it only came up with computer stuff), therefore I will have to ban you from this board. :lol:

If the letters you type do not form a word, then it is not a word.

It's orangutan.

Which incidentally is an ape, not a monkey. Ask anyone who reads the discworld books.

With regard to plynth, no matter how (pretty) sure you are, it still isn't a word.

[Proper Bo]

I said I may have speeled it wrong :P
and with regards to plynth I'm gonna find a meaning for it B)

[Proper Bo]

Proof of the word plynth (http://www.darkforce.com/royce/shop9.htm)

My definition may have been wrong but looky here
:D :D
A plynth in this context is a stand for the model cars :lol: :D

[Proper Bo]

Oooh ooh ooh what was that? a big "I&#39;m sorry, I was wrong" from JPaul
I told ya plynth was a word&#33; :D :D :D

[Skillian]

I think that guy just spelled it wrong. The stand that something like a model car might stand on is a plinth. ;)

[Proper Bo]

lol, don&#39;t be tryin to take this away from me&#33; :(

[Buffalo]

I think the "Best Word Ever" is Synthesis it&#39;s Meaning and use will always will be modern :ph34r:

Why would I apologise. You are still wrong.

Your proof is based on the fact that someone else cannot spell.

You don&#39;t even know the difference between a monkey and an ape.

I smell a Sunderland supporter looking for a meaningless victory.

Second description of PLINTH by Webster&#39;s: "a block used as a base (as for a statue or vase) [Latin plinthus, from Greek plinthos]" :D




Don&#39;t ever call the librarian an monkey; he&#39;s an ape.

One of my favourite words is oxymoron.

[hobbes]

In honor of this post: neologism (http://whatis.techtarget.com/definition/0,,sid9_gci212629,00.html) (see Websters definition #2)- an example being "plynth"

Bo is a flegrop.

[hawkeye18]

My entry fot &#39;favorite word&#39; would have to be &#39;impulse&#39;. It has many meanings, applying from shopping to Star Trek. I also like how it sounds when you say it

Oh, and Orangutan is a South-East Asian ape that is fairly large. Ironically, the name comes the Malay words &#39;orang&#39; and &#39;utan&#39; which mean &#39;large monkey or ape&#39;. So there you have it. If you go to the Singapore Zoo, you can have tea with them and watch them eat Rambutans, another favorite word (and fruit&#33;)

hawkeye18 - &#39;no, I&#39;m not on drugs, why do you ask?&#39;

[cooolway]

My best word is "monotone"
The worst word is "nits"

[soopaman]

Favourite words: Depth, Fracas, Box, Mucus. :lol:

Least Favourite: Affleck, Cunt, Work, Broke. :angry:

[dingoBaby]

My favorite word is Vermont. Vermont also happens to be my favorite place. From the french "les verts monts"(that was the original spelling, verts with a t) for the green mountains, shortened to Verds Monts, and later changed to Vermont. The Green Mountains are one of the oldest mountain ranges in the world and, in my opionion, among the most beautiful. See this link for more information on Vermont (http://www.uvm.edu/state//vthist.html) .

I no longer favor any French words, which I previously greatly enjoyed. :(

Official (defunct) list of no-longer favorite French words:

1) denouement

2) fraise

3) fromage

4) pied-a-terre

5) melange

[sjohnston]

Meanings for the word "PLINTH"


1. A block or slab on which a pedestal, column, or statue is placed.
2. The base block at the intersection of the baseboard and the vertical trim around an opening.
3. A continuous course of stones supporting a wall. Also called plinth course.
4. A square base, as for a vase.

Hope this clears up the word PLINTH :D :rolleyes: :P


Cool word is "RHYTHM" 6 letters and no vowel in sight, or what about "INDIVISIBILITY" not a clue what that means but saw it on a game show about 20 years ago and I can still remember the word.

I always thought that &#39;shampoo&#39; has got to be one of the most stupid-sounding words ever invented.

[gregster007]

(Got this in an email today)



"The Most Functional Word (Rated R)"


Well it&#39;s Shit ........ That&#39;s right, Shit&#33;
Shit may just be the most functional word in the English language.

Consider this

You can be shit faced,
Shit out of luck,
Or have shit for brains.

With a little effort, you can get your shit together,
find a place for your shit
Or decide to shit or get off the pot.

You can smoke shit,
Buy shit, sell shit,
Lose shit, find shit,
Forget shit,
And tell others to eat shit and die.

Some people know their shit,
while others can&#39;t tell the difference between shit and shine.

There are lucky shits
Dumb shits,
Crazy shits,
and sweet shits.

There is bull shit,
Horse shit,
and chicken shit

you can throw shit,
Sling shit,
catch shit,
shoot shit,
or duck when shit hits the fan.

You can give a shit,
or serve shit,

You can be happier than a pig in shit,
or You can find yourself in deep shit.

Some days are cold as shit,
some days are hot as shit,
and some days are just plan shitty.

Some music sounds like shit,
things can look like shit,
and there are times when you feel like shit.

You can have too much shit,
not enough shit,
the right shit,
the wrong shit,
or a lot of weird shit.

You can carry shit,
have a mountain of shit,
or find yourself up shit&#39;s creek
without a paddle.

Sometimes every thing you touch
turns to shit.
And others times you fall in a
bucket of shit and come out
smelling like a rose.

When you stop to consider all the facts,
it&#39;s the basic building block of creation.

And remember, once you know your shit,
you don&#39;t need to know anything else&#33;

Pass this shit along, if you give a shit.
