"H" is harpy

After Thanksgiving dinner, Alma was all friendly calmness as she spoke with Ennis; however, once she entered the terra incognita of his true relationship with Jack, she became a screaming harpy in short order.

"I" is intuitiveness
« Reply #19151 on: February 26, 2009, 02:46:46 pm »
Ennis' intuitiveness about his relationship with Jack after Jack died, the issues with Jack's family, and those with his own family suggest that Ennis had evolved to a state of credo ut intelligam...I believe so that I may understand.

"L" is linguae
« Reply #19152 on: February 26, 2009, 03:21:39 pm »
When story Jack refers to "trained athaletes" and "crushed vertebrates", he is committing a lapsus linguae, or linguistic mistake.

"N" is nemo

When Jack did his mock-rodeo dance, he was thinking: "nemo saltat sobrius", nobody dances sober.

"O" is obsequiously
« Reply #19155 on: February 26, 2009, 10:30:09 pm »
Ennis obsequiously sent a prayer up to heaven when he and Jack talked on the creek bank, with a laus deo (praise to God) that Jack did not have his harmonica.

"P" is passim

When Cassie asked Ennis where he'd been, he could have answered, "passim", that is, "here and there".

=comment=
Passim is also the name of a popular folk music club in Harvard Square, Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Poor Earl was well beyond the state of rigor mortis when Ennis's father brought him and K.D. out to have a look at him.

According to Jack, whiskey in plentiful amounts is a sine qua non when herding sheep up on Brokeback.
