I heard someone use the word ‘schenanegans’ or however that is spelt!! The same person used the word ‘Tomfoolery’!! 😆
@Chrisy3 there’s nothing better than some good schenanegans. Just saying.

@Chrisy3 [c=800000]It sounds like they have fallen into a rut! Smuggle a thesaurus into work and leave it on their desk! [/c]

“Vaðlaheiðarvegavinnuverkfærageymsluskúrslyklakippuhringurinn”
@bucktard It's a composed word and means the key ring to the tool work shed in the road works of Vaðlaheiði, a mountain road in North Iceland.

@SW-User I posted what it means above your reply. It’s a kind of key ring.

I hear the word, boondoggle less, even though there seems to be more reason for its use.
ProfessorPlum77 · 70-79, MVIP
@Nelladell That is a good word and a salient point.

@ProfessorPlum77 I have heard verisimilitude used with respect to, e.g., descriptive writing, paintings...but not in the theology I have encountered.

It might well be used in philosophy, with questions raised by technology which one could argue refreshes and recasts Plato's cave suggestion in a more...[i]Matrix[/i]-like or virtual reality form. As we have seen TVs go from a really poor "standard definition"--one where the sole camera at a stadium sporting event (placed high up, by the press booths) could not reproduce legible numbers covering the backs of, e.g., American football players--through strides of *that* analog broadcast mode to digital broadcasts and TVs which van reproduce a show's host in full size, and show every pore on his or her face (and, along with vast reductions in size & weight & costs, made your own home the best seat for the game!), we have seen the gap between "reality directly observed" and the verisimilitude attempted by TV broadcasts be reduced to...nothing. That *earns* a proper use of "verisimiltude".

Let's see...yes, Wikipedia casts the term in philosophy, but it's clear that arguing theologians could use it quite handily, as well, in the sense expounded upon in the article.

@SomeMichGuy [c=800000]Thank you for the research! [/c]
@ProfessorPlum77 Hey, it is no problem for a fellow lover of words!

Saver, as in a person who busts his ass his whole life and saves money in the bank, but hasn't received jack squat in interest in the last twenty years.

All so a federal government and wall street could borrow money at 0 percent, and then use it to put into place a Leftist Authoritarian Police State, thanks to the six morons below.

@SW-User Good one!
@SW-User My dad used to use that.

Inconceivable. Nobody says it outside of the princess bride.
@ProfessorPlum77 if the last ten years have taught us anything, it’s that everything is conceivable.
ProfessorPlum77 · 70-79, MVIP
@DarkHeaven That is funny! In an ironic way.
@ProfessorPlum77 yup. lol

Recalcitrant. I'm starting to doubt whether I ever heard it at all and just picked it up from a thesaurus
