Cool words
Snowleopard:
I love that. But then I love Nero Wolfe, both the books and the TV show.
Snowleopard:
Found a cool word today.
The word - Manes - which was the word that the Romans used for a ghost or shade.
Griffyn612:
pule (pyool) - to whine or wimper.
Also, I think someone early in the thread said mavin is a word for master, but I think it's maven - one who is experienced or knowledgeable, and expert.

It is indeed maven. Hence:
Once upon a weekend weary, while I pondered, beat and bleary,
Over many a faintly printed hexadecimal dump of core --
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some Source user chatting, chatting of some Mavenlore.
"Just a power glitch," I muttered, "printing out an underscore --
Just a glitch and nothing more."
(from the EFF online magazine back in about 1991)
Gruud:
"Harrumphed", and Word knows how it's spelled. ;D
