I think it's adorable. Ingenuous.

New question: should we use <TWIBATED> when the word it is replacing would? Or does the official <twibat> cover that?

**Glaswegian** · 06-11-2007, 04:03 PM

The official <TWIBAT> covers all nasty words.

**Spatcher** · 06-11-2007, 04:07 PM

No because TWIBAT means this word is banned at TSF.

If it would read "this word is banned at tsf, ebackhus decreed", other people would get mad.

Thank U 4 clearing this up!

Now that I employ this automatically....verbally and in emails.....& that people do not udnerstand wut it is......means it needs copywriting and wide distrubtion.....so it becomes part of the woof and warp of the living language and will also then appear in future editions of dictionaries!

Thanks 4 contacting Customer Clarification @ Jilly.sumthin:

1) Connery, SEAN. Came from the slums of Edinburgh....metamorphozed himself into a real artistocrat. via serious, self education & integrity ongoing (interesting that he first read PROUST)...did not simply expoit his formicdble physicality,is also passionate, pro active Scottish Loyalist who has accomplished a great deal within that arena; also suffers fools not at all.....one assumes U know his filmography.

2) Glas, in my opinion is cute....the latter judgement being subjective 4 each of us, as he has brains, personality, subtlety, whimsy. warmth & emotional health.i.e., inner joy and geneosity of spirit.

For me....unless someone emenates this amalgam of qualities, and often regardless of conventional, external cute....he or she.....ain't cute.

Sorry U asked yet?

Has anyone got a better smiley than me? I am sure a 7 year could do better
