"D" is deflection
« Reply #14310 on: August 02, 2007, 05:50:54 pm »


While laying asphalt, Ennis experienced a deflection of his focus when Timmy unintentionally reminded Ennis of Brokeback Mountain, and his experiences there.

def 1 - a turning aside (of one's course or attention or concern)

def 2 - Asphalt term: the vertical movement of a pavement under load. This is often measured to determine the pavement life and existing wear rate of the pavement, and can determine rehabilitation programmes.

def 3 - a twist or aberration

"G" is granular
« Reply #14313 on: August 02, 2007, 06:09:18 pm »


The sugar in Alma's woefully near-empty shaker was granular.  No sweet life for her.


def 1 - composed of particles resembling meal in texture or consistency

def 2 - road construction term: granular pavement: a pavement which obtains its load-spreading properties mainly by intergranular pressure, mechanical interlock and cohesion between the particles of the pavement material.

Alma is scared that Jenny will have one of her asthma spells where the inflammation of her airways will increase, making breathing difficult.

"M" is minatory

Ennis's tone was minatory as he said to Biker #2, "What about it?  Wanna swallow 'bout half your teeth?"

def. = threatening

As a negotiatrix, Alma had mixed results.  She persuaded Ennis to move to town, but couldn't arrange a trip to the Knife & Fork.

:-*  Have fun!  I'll miss you.  :)
