"W" is wow

The opening lines of Ang Lee's acceptance speech at the Academy Awards:

"Wow!  I wish I knew how to quit you.  First of all, I want to thank two people who don't even exist.  Or I should say, they do exist, because of the imagination of Annie Proulx and the artistry of Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana.  Their names are Ennis and Jack.  And they taught all of us who made "Brokeback Mountain" so much about not just all the gay men and women whose love is denied by society but, just as important, the greatness of love itself...."

Meryl, "xcruciating" was played in Round 58 by Sandy (reply #1627).

We need a replacement word for "X".

"D" is dousing

Jack, the more sexually experienced of the two, and the one with a somewhat stronger gay drive (he's not beyond dousing his fire with trips to Mexico), tries to convince Ennis to start a life with him, to build a cabin and run a ranch.      Love Story by R Shulman
