"Q" is queasily
« Reply #6380 on: August 20, 2006, 11:39:11 am »
Ennis listened queasily as Alma talked about fishin' and Jack Twist, and about not bringing home even one fish; but when she said "Jack Nasty", he twisted her wrist and said, "Shut up.  Mind your own business; you don't know nothin' about it."

Ostler, just the one word I was looking for:
Ennis was one jimhickey of an ostler.
Good one !!

After four years apart, Ennis and Jack became very turned-on at just the sight of each other.

We see the real ugliness of the murdered Earl scene in the eyes of nine-year-old Ennis.

"V" is vagueness

Ennis's vagueness prompted Jack's reply of "ever' four f*ckin' years?"

"W" is withered

Jack was so disappointed over the lack of time Ennis and he had together, his hopes of a happy life withered.
Nightmares may be products of our subconscious, but dreams are magic windows through which we see our desired reality.

The blueheeler yapped and drew attention to the shredded sheep as Ennis came galloping up the mountain.

"Z" is Zen-like

"This constant sense of alienation, of being an "outsider," would have crushed a less peaceful mind, but instead strengthened Lee's Zen-like inner serenity." From Ang Lee: a pinch of Tao, a dash of Zen by Raymond Zhou. Link
