Next time let your fingers do the walking. Dictionary.com is where I found those stupid, uncommon, alien words even though they sound like gibberish. I would have said that to grok fully was redundant but it seems that it's an appropriate usage according to the dictionary.

In fact, "grok" is a nice short, concise word, so I quite like it. My favourite word is "quixotic" which is even more uncommon than "grok". A greater vocabulary is good, it allows for greater expression without having to fight the language. Phil

In case not everyone is aware, the term "dude" means "camel penis"; therefore, Cristopher's sentence above is grammatically (in a poetic, if not conversational, sense), topically, and metaphorically correct. Since this is neither a scientific nor a judicial forum, we obviously don't need to concern ourselves with the veracity or substantiation of statements posted here. Rick

He should have used his X-ray vision! He should have flown to the party via Charlie's Angels' apartment!

(No, I'm not addressing you, Dave!) That's what you could see if you used your X-ray vision on the Invisible Man (assuming that you are Superman). I need to check my history on this one, but, I'm pretty sure that X-rays had not yet been discovered at the time H.G. Wells wrote The Invisible Man. Everybody just hum the theme from Jeopardy! while I do a quick Google... Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo... Quote:
Wait a minute! Doesn't Superman also have the ability to see infrared light? Hah! There you have it! He knew exactly what he was doing the whole time! Think about it... The Invisible Man has no real superpowers beyond his invisibility, but Wonder Woman could easily wreak revenge on Superman with a bit of Kryptonite in that olive in his martini at the party. No way Superman's going to risk raping Wonder Woman. I mean, Wonder Woman and Lois Lane are sorority sisters! The Invisible Man is easy prey, though. So, there you have it... Superman wasn't lured into Wonder Woman's penthouse by the sight of Wonder Woman, but by the infrared vision of the Invisible Man's booty! Which brings us to the next question... Is Superman more likely to be tempted by Charlie's Angels, or by Sean, Roger, and Pierce? Or the Three Tenors?

Think about this. If you were the invisible man, women would want to go out with you for who you are, not what you look like.
AWSOME!

A word is defined by its CONTEXT! Duh-huh!
"Dude, You suck" Translates to "Man, you suck" or "Buddy, You suck" Or even "Fellow, you suck" you ALL know that and yet you perpetuate pointless arguments, why?

Too true! Too true! Isn't it interesting how this idea can work both ways? It can take on a life of its own which just lends itself soooo well to decoration and embellishment... (my forte, as you may know!). "Somebody" has really forgotten how to be a good guest here! It's quite obvious that if sendhair wanted to start a rumor about "somebody" from New Zealand, he'd tell a joke involving sheep. Oh, dear! Did I say "rumor"? But I do have a lovely recipe for mint jelly that is simply maaaavelous with braised lamb medallions! By the way, I just happened to have this in my library, and the glossary is quite interesting!
