Treatise on Pymies Various and Varied

Below is a list of commonly accepted variations on the main Pymy forms: Angriepymy (masc. noun): The state of a pugnacious, pissed off pymy Drugpymy (neut. noun): Pymies in altered states Strugpymy (fem. noun): Pymy when faced with a deadline Ambiepymy:  (fem. noun): Pymy who has taken an Ambien and is engaged in an organizational activity (masc. noun, dual only): Archaic dual of "Pymy" Plymguists are constantly seeking additional forms, but as the main corpus of pymlish works has been lost to the sands of time and flow of whiskey, we may never know the full extent of their linguistic innovation.

So obviously I was reading the wikipedia article on the mineral "kaolininte". Just had to share the following: Geophagy [ edit source  |  edit beta ] Kaolin is eaten for health or to suppress hunger, [9]  a practice known as  geophagy . Consumption is greater among women, especially during pregnancy. [21]   This practice has also been observed within a small population of African-American women in the  Southern United States , especially  Georgia . [ 22]  There, the kaolin is called  white dirt ,  chalk  or white clay . [22] An illustration: Kaolin Tao Lin

She mentioned Cost Plus unprovoked, of her own volition. In other words, the Cost Plus topic was initiated by her, not me, I happened to be working on my laptop and promptly opened the Photo Booth app to capture this golden moment.

  Let's face it: even on a average day, Bugpymyge is not particularly a ray of endless light.  Another day, another gchat But certain days are far worse than others. These are the sorts of days that Chicagoans should truly worry about. Life is full of legumes and swapped saliva. There are so many things to hate out there, and so many crotchety muscles to flex. The time has come to start looking for sublets. Poor, sweet Bugpymyge, everything is going to be okayge!  PS: "ZEH LO TOV" Alecksander v'hayom ha'ayim v'nora v'garu'a v'lo tov bichlal 

Most Uncommon Frum Baby Names

Angiepymytu is lurking on a three-year-old forum topic called "Most Uncommon Frum Names" , on a website called Yeshiva World News. Not sure what more there is to say here... A600KiloBear Inactive, per member request BS"D But are the Bahiyas named Batya for kodesh the way an American Batya might be known as Beth on paper, or has Bahiya become a kodesh name the way the French names have in Morocco? Annette is Chana, but there are granddaughters of Annettes who was born at the time the Alliance started in Morocco is called Annette and only Annette even if her parents are very haredi. Especially in EY, people do not even know that the name was French but think it is an authentic Moroccan Jewish first name - which I guess it is once the name is given in memory of someone. My friend's mother by now probably has (great)grandchildren named Annette for their (great)grandmother as per Sefardi custom. If you saw Rabbanit Annette shopping in Boro Park, the only wa...
