Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Here's M-W:
Main Entry: ahold Pronunciation: &-'hOld Function: noun Etymology: probably from the phrase a hold : HOLD t if you could get ahold of a representative -- Norman Mailer
Is ahold a word?
If it isn't, and we get all the publishy Buffistas to use it in their publishy goods, we can send off all of the instances to erinaceous and MAKE IT A WORD.
Such is our power.
Such is the way of Buffistas.
Amen.
OED has a-hold
Oxford American has neither.
I think I want to marry Keith O. I am sending that link to everyone in my family. Everyone in America should watch that. Everyone who watches Fox News should have to watch that. Everyone who works for FOX news should have to watch it on repeat.
Hm. brenda took all the air out of my post. Friggin brenda with her mad dictionary skillz.
grumble grumble
Oxford American has neither.
But what about "a-hold"?
Alien micro-organisms? My instinct is hoax, but until that is shown I'm going to believe real aliens.
You know, Sean, even when they fluff up their fur they are quite a bit smaller than you.
Not Ozzie.
This is where having more than one cat comes in handy.
Not Ozzie and Perkins the cat. Whenever PtC thinks Ozzie is in trouble/flipping out, he'll take the opportunity to attack him, which can lead to Ozzie being hurt, which will lead to his flip outs lasting for days.
Timelies,
All these freaked-out cat attack stories are giving me the wiggins. My parents have had owned over half-a-dozen cats in my life and none of them have ever attacked anyone. Playful pouncing, yes, but no intentional drawing of blood outside of the things cats normally scratch people over (bathing, cleaning ears, trying to clip claws, etc)
Can it be 6pm yet? Ugh. I just want to go home. One of our major systems have been having printing problems all week and I'm so sick of dealing with it. They're supposed to be upgrading the servers to fix the problem tonight.
