Reminds me of the mess that occurred when a coworker (retired military) described a project as "tits up". Of course, I now notice in the Entourage dictionary "tit (2)" but no "tit (1)" which rather indicates that the more common definition of the word was apparently removed... A brief further investigation also shows a "boob (2)"...and a few others. My dictionary has been abridged! :-( mikel -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
