    I really liked the OT thread. It was sort of like the bar for a far flung group. I survived without the forum totally but I don't think that is the point. If it hadn't been so long since I've posted I might have thought it was on my account. Imagine thing I was important enough. If this wasn't an Internet thing I'm sure that at least some would discuss other topics (probably still do). I'm not in a position to do any steering so I'll just try to watch enough to have some idea what's going (that's a concept, have some idea what's going on) still I'm curious about this need to be exclusionary.

    Source, I think we all have words like that in the back of our heads but in most cases they stay their for fear of mispelling them.In Giskard's case I would have not used that word for two reasons. 1. I had no idea what it meant and 2.Even if I did I would have never spelled it correctly.

    We all have fancy words that mean the same things as simple english in our heads. My mom happened to be here earlier, I asked her what the word meant, she knew it right off the top of her head. Old time scrabble player, and once a school teacher with a masters degree.

    Truthfully, that word, coprophageous, happens to be an accurate description of some of the things here. People feeding off the posts, like, well, flies feeding on _____!

    There are tons of fancy words to say things without being overtly profane.

    Heres one > Masticate! How many forum members masticate? Any of you? Surely some of us do! I bet we all do.

    I would think it's better to masticate first, then swallow! Thats the proper way.

    I swallow like a billion times a day, most things that i enjoy or semi-involuntary, things that are in my mouth that i have little control over and mostly manufactured by MY body.There are many places spitting is illegal


    Why do you ask?

    It was guessable for me. The word "coprolite" came to mind - it's not uncommon in my field (pun occurred but unintended)...
