It is a type of knot taught in the boy scouts and in rescue squads. It is most commonly used to make a harness around an unconscious victim so that you can pull them back in.

"TMI"

First off my apologies to everyone playing for disapparing for a couple days. Had to go out of town for some work and was swamp the whole time.

Stieger was correct.

Now back to Stieger's "TMI"....I have seen this a couple diffderent ways. First is "too much information" where one gets way more then they needed. The other is "Three Mile Island".

either one?

The Stig · 08-05-2011, 01:08 PM

Score I got your word right anyway, and yes you are correct "TMI"=too much information

Texas2SS · 08-05-2011, 01:24 PM

It is a quantity of wine that has been poured out of its original bottle to allow the beverage to "breathe" before it is consumed.

You fellahs had me stumped for a bit. I'm on the task now.

Okay, time is lagging. "Egregious" means seriously a bad action or behavior by a person or persons.

Alright, the "mare" definition was rejected, so onto the next contestant.
Perinneal is a bit misspelled, but I believe we are speaking of a word that means continuing for a longer time. It is used in regards, for instance, with plants that live beyond a year's seasonal cycle.

New word: "Triptych"

The skipped word: "Bespoke" means previously but non-specifically made. An off-the-rack article of clothing is "bespoke" as in the short story: "Bespoke Overcoat" by the Russian author, Nikolai Gogol.

Ivas · 08-09-2011, 08:49 PM

Whoops, "triptych" was too esoteric, right? It means one of those three Middle Ages or Renaissance panels painting that are hinged together and stand behind the altar in a cathedral. Hieronymus Bosch painted a famous one called Earthly Delights, I believe.

Replacement word: "Pendulum".

The Stig · 08-09-2011, 08:55 PM

Gah I know what it is but I can't explain it.
