P.S. Never drink with an Aussie

*Pontificate*

the latter. Don't know what it is in gallons but they're 64 ounces.

P.S. I have, it didn't end well.

[heRS]

to pontificate is to expound on a subject, or be the authority of a topic and guide others in that topic. ?
if I'm right the next word is chinook

[sneakypete]

heRS, you are partially correct. It is a verb of pontif which directly relates to the pope and the bishops. If a sermon is given by the pope or a bishop it is pontificating.

Chinook is a CH-47 helicopter. They fly over my work area all day every day.

Next word deals with my job
*Geospatial*

Chinook is the name of a north american tribe of indians. I believe today they inhabit the lower reaches of Canada. But what the hell do I know...

Geospatial refers to things that link the surface of our planet (that's the "geo" part) and the part of outer space through which satellites pass in their orbits.

New word: "misanthrope".

[heRS]

Chinook is also the name of a warm wind that blows through in winter months. Misanthrope=hates humanity?

Huzzah! You am correct. The next word is indubitably your choice. We are waitin' with bated breath.

[Ivas]

Too slow, we can't wait any longer. We're gonna' restart.

New word: "attenuate".

[GnyaTek]

Sorry - been away from the game lately (and no, Ivas, "bray" was not too difficult a word ... folks just weren't around )

Attenuate is to taper down to a sharp tip... to come to a point.

new word: "reverberation"

new word: "reverberation"

When a sound continues from the thrumming of a string or cord. (Ooh, how'd you like my using "thrum" from an earlier posting?,lol)

new word: "fugue".

[The Stig]

fugue: a state of loss of awareness of one's own identity.

"scuttlebutt"

I can give a hint for all you Civi's if you can't figure it out

[GnyaTek]

not sure which form of fugue you are looking for...

noun: in music, a fugue is a piece of music that has repeated portions that are slightly varied from one another.

adj: fugue is a psychology term, I think that refers to amnesia. A person enters a fugue state where they still function, but later after exiting the fugue state, are unaware of what happened during the lost time?

If answer(s) are accepted, new word: "parafoil"


DOH! I was too slow ... got phone call in midst of typing LOL

and Scuttlebutt is a rumor, gossip, idle talk ... common term used in US Navy/military.
