----------------------------------------------------------------- Dear J. Colaco and FN, Lighten up, gentlemen! I don't want to get into a contretemps over intellect. Neither was the intent personal as you impute. This is not about your intellect or my intellect but about word usage i.e 'Pubbies' to describe republican voters in the USA. Your word is not used in mainstream American reporting media, which is why I looked it up. The aspect of 'intellect' is Urban Dictionary defined. Now there is a delicious resource mirroring evolving English neologisms in the USA. Since you asked, I would describe my intellect as pedestrian, though others (read family, always reliable) would describe it as deficient. And no, I am not having a melt-down. best, I.

How would you describe yourself? jc ------------------------------------------- 2009/8/6 lyrawmn wrote: Pubbie: Word used by those of lesser intellect to describe other people in a game." earlier jc had written: They are now even following well known Dem traditions of "sweet-hearting" with other women. What? But then ....what is a man to do with the irrestible call of Argentina from the Appalachians? These are 'licentious' times, as the Sadhu Sant Senhor Rano would say when referring to Samirbab. To the Pubbies, I say ...."Take a Hike" even if it is in the Appalachians. jc
