What other English phrases are there that are noun adjective like women religious? The only other ones I can think of are the "general" ones -- attorney general, postmaster general, judge advocate general, and so on. Hmm, also court martial. I'm guessing most of those came from French. Are there any others?
Congratulations to the class of 1999. You all proved more or less adequate.

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The body electric?
Of course, that came from a poem.

I don't think that's the same -- in "I sing the body electric," body is the direct object, and electric is the object complement, right? Or am I totally misreading that phrase?

I just looked up "trip the light fantastic," and it turns out that was originally "trip it as ye go, on the light fantastic toe." Which actually makes a lot more sense.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Man, in people don't all suck news, you know how music teachers are sometimes the most able to be keyed into a kid's vision issues? We have a student who had glasses, but they broke. For a while we were thinking they were going to be able to be replaced, but it was coming up on six months. And she'd just hit the point where she was really frustrated in class because she couldn't see the board.
So we finally made an appeal on facebook, and people gave over $500 in basically 45 minutes, including what came by check later.
So new glasses for not just one kiddo!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That's great, Liese.

Facebook is giving me a "become an ultrasound tech" ad, where the picture is one of those freaky cakes with a doll head and limbs.
