the lizard Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 For those of you who don’t already know this, Google can be used as an online dictionary / thesaurus / encyclopaedia, by using the “define†operator. Such as - define:spaghetti or define:Scotland or define:â€feral pigeon†or or define:soDIMM there must be NO space(s) between "define", the colon, and the search term. if your search term is more than one word, (as in the “feral pigeon†example above), then the use of inveted-commas / quote marks is recommended.

henry d Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 .....or FLAME - originally, flame meant to carry forth in a passionate manner in the spirit of honorable debate. Flames most often involved the use of flowery language and flaming well was an art form. More recently flame has come to refer to any kind of derogatory comment no matter how witless or crude. www.brighton-webdesign.co.uk/glossary.html I want more passionate & honorable debate,with flowery language and more use of this art form Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
