Now, my favourite word is "Museum", because of what it means. It's Latin for "Let us think", which is lovely, when you consider what it describes!
So, words, what tickles your fancy?

If Brant carried on like RB does, and got as many complaints, would he get banned, d'ya think...?

On a word related rant, FAO certain idiots on here...
It's "lose weight" not "loose weight".
It's "as well" not "aswell".

They appear all the time on here and the sad thing is, they're not typos!

Zarf - the proper name for that bit of plastic/cardboard with a handle on that you sit your plastic/cardboard beaker of coffee into when it's too hot to hold.
