"K" is kerflooey

Ennis had to help Jack when they came down off the mountain because Jack's truck had gone kerflooey.

Welcome to the ABCz game!
"K" is also kudos for a great "K" word!

"L" is lowdown

Alma was trying to get the lowdown on Ennis' "fishing trips" with Jack Nasty.

Welcome to the game and great choice of word.

You're getting to be a seasoned player.

You certainly have been getting a lot of mileage out of "canoodle" in its various forms and tenses. I have to agree it's a great word.

"M" is mores

One could argue that Ennis and Jack's happiness is laid to waste by society's mores. But where lies tragedy, also lies the tender, undiluted potency of genuine love. Brokeback Mountain is a testament to that love, in all its forms.      Love Story by R Shulman

"N" is nor

"Later, that dozy embrace solidified in his memory as the single moment of artless, charmed happiness in their separate and difficult lives.  Nothing marred it, even the knowledge that Ennis would not then embrace him face too face because he did not want to see nor feel that it was Jack he held."  [story]

"O" is oddball

Jack was very endearing in his oddball antics' mimicking rodeo in order to make Ennis smile.

Proulx's prose is particularly and powerfully poetic.

The quilt covering Jack's boyhood bed was sewn by someone with quiltmaking skills.

"R" is remains
« Reply #7777 on: October 15, 2006, 12:46:35 pm »
[The shirt]'s all that remains of Jack; and [Ennis], who can ride and rope and fight (we've seen that) and kill (coyote and elk) finally has a tender moment as he brings the garments to his face and rubs them against his cheek.

Ennis' older brother K.E. Del Mar (11 years old) in that awful roadside scene was played real good without a word by Steffen Cole Moser.
