Max, nowadays in the States only academics use that word. For the general populace, it has become an obsolete word.

Confession:
I have a dream.
If I ever become rich, I'd like to star in my own cooking show. I'd call this show "Victorian Cooking", and feature dishes seldom cooked these days---such as Smothered Chicken, or Creme of Cardoon Soup. I'd cook these dishes on an antique wood cook stove, which infuses the dish with taste.
I would use the same kind of dairy they used--raw butter, raw milk, raw cream, and free-range meat.
I think it'd be a lot of fun.
This supposed to be a thing that DigiFudge must throw in front page..

after reading this, i think it's safe to say new jersey is basically the deep south of the north. after all, new jersey WAS the last northern state to get rid of slavery. there's a lot of racism over here. it's scary.

This was actually interesting reading:

^ yes, it was interesting.
David Howard felt he had to resign his job because other people didn't know how to use words properly— that's PC taken to new levels of stupidity!
my bad, enter key is to big and easy to hit...

Gosh Johann, one of the first times anyone has accused me of being an academic.
People have been extremely xxxxxxly applying an appellation of that nature to me.
It's truly a fucking shame when all people can do is look for slights, disses or slams
Pity the blockheads spend so much time on the words and so little on the sentences.

@ Lefty:
I remember it being used on Network News in the 70s and 80s, but I think its use, along with the English language in general, has evolved. I bet very few young people have even heard the word "niggardly".
Funny thing, that: at work, I told a young man that I was going to "fix his wagon". He had to ask me what it meant, and now the whole crew teases me about it--it's become a running joke...
Apropos the word "niggardly":
Thought this article might interest you. It seems that controversy involving the use of the word didn't really begin until about the late 90s:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controv...22niggardly%22
It is standard english for stingy. The Economist, quoted in your link, is correct. I've grown up hearing the word niggardly used to describe financial stinginess, and I don't see why we should stop because one person uneducated in the English language made a scandal in a tea pot.
Americans need to keep their guns so they can protect themselves from gun violence just like Nancy Lanza did. And like Chris Kyle did. And like Gabby Giffords did. And like Tom Clements did.
^Times have changed, Bankside, and we have to change with them.
Remember my example of "I'm gonna fix your wagon"? You're going to feel old when I tell you this, but...
...there're web pages devoted to it. (Can you just imagine?)
http://askville.amazon.com/gonna-fix...uestId=1821799
Times change? I think modernity will have less of an impact than is commonly assumed. We have better records of the language than ever before; the internet will see to that. People can look it up. And it is one thing to select a more salubrious word because there may happen to be one. It is another thing entirely to cave in to someone's tantrum of ignorance. Just on principle, we should use the word "niggardly."

^I was gonna let someone else touch that mess. TY for doing so
I turned down a guy tonight because he doesn't drink alcohol. It's one of my "musts" in relationships along with coffee.
I'll never understand why my coworkers treat me like I walk on water.
I spend like half my day on JUB or Facebook, but my coworkers always seem to treat me like I'm overworked/super busy.
"killing a man should take long enough for one's conscience to get in the way."
^Actually, I'd interpreted the post to mean that you could share a entire bottle of wine with someone.
Honest question: how many glasses are there in a bottle?
Good question
I didn't know you put glasses in the wine....
I sometimes use ice if its a common white or
a cheap varietal/blush
Be careful with Razzie....
I suspect those aren't Bottle stoppers.

I don't own a swan dress.
The key is to always make them THINK you're busy and over worked. I used to walk around carrying a clip board, with a stern look on my face when I was doing nothing - just to LOOK busy when I wasn't. It was like a work hall pass to go anywhere in the plant I wanted and talk to whomever I wanted without a second glance.![]()
i am catching the jitters and my bowels are moving seeing that there's a NEW GTA 5 TRAILER. oh my fucking god!!!
somebody view it for me please to let me know that it's good. it's a shame that it's only a minute long. LONGER, ROCKSTAR, LONGER!!!

Drinking is a social thing. I could actually respect someone if they were allergic to alcohol as I have friends that are. However, abstaining because "it is evil" shows you have no self-control. All things in moderation.
Speaking of drinking, my mom actually complained to me that I don't drunk dial her. My brother's MO is "work hard, play hard" which I find far more destructive.
have a crush (don't we all) on a couple of jubbers here and i think i developed another one along the way but i refuse to say who they are and who the new crush is.plan on carrying that info to the grave. i'll never tell.

I can honestly say I don't have the "alcoholic gene", but I consider myself a major lightweight.
I can safely take one drink; I've been known to have a glass of sherry after dinner, for example, with no ill effects. But after the second drink, something strange happens to my brain. It seems to affect my emotions, depending upon what I drink. Vodka, for example, propels me into a depression, while red wine seems to interfere with my ability to form cogent sentences.
I have it in my mind that a lot of people have this problem, but feel too embarrassed to admit it.
Just experienced heavenly sensation with Chef Salad frm local Italian resto delivery: Amantee?
It surprisingly have all the perfect inggredients: Greens, green pepper, tomatoes, olives, kalamata olives, artichoke, zucchini, sunflower seeds served with blue cheese-Italian dressing ...yum
Thank Cod I have green lust once awhile to balancing my pepperoni-salami craving over the weeks and my crazy milk drinking (milk+2 spoonful of sugar+ Irish creamer+ microwave)
But the good thing about milk, it's either giving you tummy/ ass..
all curvaceous men drink milk and the effect start crippling over my body.
* zucchini has weird spelling: zuc-double c hini?

You acknowledged above that most of us have crushes or people that interest us here on JUB. We can all relate to the feeling, and the world isn't going to come crashing down if people learn that you find them attractive. Last time there was a crush thread, I wrote a list of people that interest/arouse me; the responses I got were people telling me how flattered they were, or that it brightened their day.
Come on, part of you wants to tell us, otherwise you wouldn't have mentioned it. Besides, now I'm all curious and whatnot.
Just spill already!![]()
It is a confession thread; thus, you are supposed to name names. XD
Anders has a good point too.
^It's probably Enchanted. :P
Rj, I was just wondering.
I've noticed a couple of times, you've mentioned the term "jersey bastard". What's it mean? I googled it and came up with nothing, except a reference to a rap tune, which didn't help.
it's just me being silly. i just flipped ol dirty bastard into ol jersey bastard since i live in new jersey. can't really call myself dirty even though i've been slacking with the hygenie. not really going outside the house much anyway. *shrugs* i'm kinda living bummy where i might become an old dirty bastard for real.

I've had to pee so much today it makes me wonder if I've missed my true calling of doing piss porn for Michael Lucas.
I have a crush on the Thanksgiving turkey I'm baking in the oven right now. I'm gonna make love to it in a few hours.
I know it's not Thanksgiving yet. I was just in the mood for some turkey.

Uhm,
I'm not sure how to ask this delicately or in a manner
that maintains even the illusion of good taste. SO...
You are talking an oral relationship that refers to and
involves oral, specifically mastication right?
