"Q" is quetch

During their summer on the mountain, Jack would quetch a lot to Ennis about Aguirre and the "sleep with the sheep" routine.

=compliment= Mikaela
Great "Q", especially since we can use
all the different verb forms:  quetched,
quetching, quetches!

"T" is tabula

Jack's death represented a tabula rasa, but even so Ennis clung to his cherished memories of Jack.

Tabula rasa = A need or an opportunity to start from the beginning. Often used as a term in literature.

"U" is unlikely

Although Ennis was unlikely to try and draw attention to himself, he sometimes lost it, and then he became the center of attention.

"X" is xception
« Reply #5169 on: July 27, 2006, 07:31:50 am »

Jack - ordinarily a genial man - made an xception on Thanksgiving Day, 1977; and told his father-in-law: "Now you sit down before I knock your ignorant ass into next week."
