So it's not a dictionary term. Ok. I feel better not being able to find it in Webster's. Speaking of terms not found in Webster's...I'm pretty sure you won't find 'Blue Falcon' in there. I've know quite a few of them, and had to deal with another one recently. Anyone know the slang meaning of 'Blue Falcon'? Anyone? Anyone? -And 'no', not a cartoon character...

IMGR2 0 #30 May 13, 2006 QuoteQuoteHere's another one: sym·po·si·um ( P ) Pronunciation Key (sm-pz-m) n. pl. sym·po·si·ums or sym·po·si·a (-z-) 1.) A meeting or conference for discussion of a topic, especially one in which the participants form an audience and make presentations. 2.) A collection of writings on a particular topic, as in a magazine. 3.) A convivial meeting for drinking, music, and intellectual discussion among the ancient Greeks. Note the last one!! Woo-hoo, skydivers around a bonfire are emulating ancient Greeks. Intellectual?? Like the PIA Symposium????? I recall some very intellectual conversations with the infamous, all-knowing Chuck Blue at PIA. Oh wait, come to think of it, I can't remember anything after the sun went down there.

JohnMitchell 14 #46 May 13, 2006 Quote One of the sysads here at work keep pronouncing "cache" as "cash-ay"... Could they possibly mean "cachet"? In that case, the pronuciation would be correct. "Masticate" is a word that threw me for years. I had heard it was a good thing to do at the dinner table, but that lead to some really embarassing moments.
