"U" is unimpressed

Alma is unimpressed with Ennis's work choices, wishing he'd find a job that would pay better and help him get ahead in the world.

"V" is victimized
« Reply #9912 on: January 04, 2007, 12:16:49 pm »
Jack and Ennis are victimized by society, and Lureen and Alma are victimized by the plight they find themselves in by virtue of their marriages.  Everyone suffers.

"W" is willfully
« Reply #9913 on: January 04, 2007, 12:33:18 pm »
Mr. Newsome willfully went against his daughter's wishes and encouraged the grandson to watch a manly football game during a family meal.  He further (e)xacerbated the problem by actually switching the TV back on again.  Jack Twist, the son-in-law, was correct in saying:  "This is my house! This is my child! And you're my guest! So sit the hell down, or I'll knock your ignorant ass into next week...."

"X" is xculpated

From the look on her face at Thanksgiving, Alma never xculpated Ennis for his failures as a father and husband.

Too drunk to even stand, Ennis yawed about on all fours before asking Jack for an extra blanket so he could sleep by the fire.

"Z" is zoographically
« Reply #9916 on: January 04, 2007, 02:00:19 pm »
Annie Proulx writes zoographically in her short story "Brokeback Mountain".  Here are some of her terms:

big son of a bitch coyote
cow and calf operation
Dead Horse Road
goddam pup tent.
good night horse
milling sheep
mouse-coloured grullo
run-out horse
skittish bay mare
tame ranch dogs

adj.   Of or pertaining to the description of animals.

"ABCz" * Round 358!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Round 358 of the ABCz


Oh, U missed the BBM train?  Boo! Hoo!  Try catchin' it at Grand Central Station! ;D  The huge Grand Hyatt Hotel is rather conveniently located above! :o  Ooopz! :P  U know which ABC-erz we saw there??  ???

=congratz= Playerz & Viewerz
Many of U deserve 'credit' for making the ABCz #1 again -- now with a lead of over 1,000 viewz!  Yee-haw!!  Somebody "Please, Please, Please" (a song tribute to James Brown) inform the Writer from Maine that despite her publicly posted ordering her readers to "reload" and "refresh" to beat those "ABCz People", messieurs Ennie & Ellerie have drastically dropped down! :D  (A writer who doesn't play the ABCz word challenge?!  Hunh?)

WILL-fully,

"A" is alabaster
« Reply #9918 on: January 04, 2007, 02:32:17 pm »
Alma’s skin is so pale in some of the scenes she looks as though she’s carved out of alabaster.

Happy New Year!   :laugh:

"B" is bad-mouthed
« Reply #9919 on: January 04, 2007, 06:07:15 pm »
L.D. bad-mouthed Jack up until Jack stood up to him at Thanksgiving dinner.

=aside=
Can we leave all the bad-mouthing aside and get on with the game? This is a game - not a hatefest.
