In my opinion,
JustWill is the smartest man on SYD and probably one of the smartest men in the world, just ask him. I've suggested several times that he should open a thread and answer member's questions. He never did that because it would cost 20 points but he's very frugal.
I'm opening this thread on his behalf, ask him anything you like with the exception of plumbing and taxidermy. Yep, as you may have guessed, he gets the two of them confused. Please start your question by "mentioning" his name, don't forget to use the "at sign", one of these things @ before and after his screen name. I will start us off....
Let me ask you this: Did the stuff you bought taste like licorice (Ptewy), or did it taste like watermelon (also Ptewy)?
I rest my case.
Spelling doesn't count.
Because the purpose of ONOMATOPOEIA is to create a word that conveys to a reader a specific sound as the writer hears it, what is important is that the pronunciation of the combined letters in the word created do so.
It's the SOUND, not the SPELLING, that matters.
I hear PTEWY, because when I spit in disgust, there is no "I" sound involved. So I wrote PTEWY--twice.
THAT'S what you took from my answer?

You know, if you squint your brain really hard and pretend that licorice isn't a specific substance, with a very specific (and disgusting) taste, and that anything that doesn't actually CONTAIN that specific substance could possibly BE licorice--then, sure.
The humping behavior of male dogs is not always/exclusively a sexual thing.
In many cases, it is the dog's way of trying to show dominance. It's the dog's way of saying "I am your superior, and I will prove it by making you my bitch!"
Believe it or not, very dominant female dogs will also display this type of humping behavior as well.
Also, when a male dog is overly excited or stressed, it will sometimes hump inanimate objects (pillows, chair legs, teddy bears, etc.) to relieve the tension.
Okay, male dogs aren't really that different from male humans, I guess.
Why is it that you feel the need to be so fricken annoying? You really take the cake. Is it too difficult for you to comprehend that because JustWill has you blocked and you have him blocked, he doesn't give a flying fuck what you have to say? And for the record, JustWill comments on whatever he finds interesting, unlike you who comments on everything because you have the urge to be seen and "heard".
It would seem to me if you have blocked him and he has blocked you, there are a number of other members that you could annoy.
If Mary Smith-Miller marries John Jones-Moore what is her new last name?
What are the kids’ last names?
Do you know of such a situation?
Kebmo Bored-Wondering
I can SEE you post when I go to 'recent replies to your omments', but it isn't anywhere to be found if I go to the forum.
Anyway, to answer your question:
As modern woman who doesn't hold to the antiquated notions foisted upon her by the Patriarchy, Mary Smith-Miller's last name can be anything that she damn well chooses it to be.
And, who said that Mary even WANTS to have kids? What, is she nothing more than a baby-making machine?
Geez, folks, get with the times, why don't ya...
As for the Mary Smith-Miller and John Jones-Moore's union, this was my response to kebmo;
Is there a correct or incorrect response?
Unless we are given all the particulars to consider, there's probably a half-dozen different name possibilities.
My guess is that the name "Jones", in John Jones-Moore's name is paying homage to his mother's maiden name. My guess is that although the reference to Jones in Jones-Moore may be important to John's identity, it's not important to Mary. In my opinion, upon their union Mary will take the name of Mary Moore, unless she is an established business woman and has already carved a business identity using the name of Mary Smith-Miller, which she will retain.
As far as the surnames of children, they both decided that they would prefer to travel so they've agreed, NO CHILDREN.
Follow up question: can the word hypothetical be properly used as a noun? I think not.
It is my understanding that, when it comes to hyphenated names (which I find to be silky as hell), many marrying couples who both bear the burden of such a ponderous surname choose to compromise by "splitting the difference'. They choose half of each of their names, hyphenate that, and both adopt the new name when they wed. Thus, the new couple would be Smith-Jones, Smith-Miller, Jones-Miller, or any combination of the four. The children would then share that new name with their parents.
And, yes. Hypothetical can be properly used as a noun (just not as a PROPER noun). If anyone gives you flack about this, tell them to come and see me about it.
I check in when I can, though!
Gotta Go now. I bought a bunch of new hypotheticals and I like to wash them before my cat plays with them. 😘
Please stay out of my granny panties. Little boys shouldn't meddle with things they don't know anything about. That includes the FAT ASS on a certain ex-member and/or Sasquatch. Lollipop, If you weren't such an a__hole you might even be attractive. The Sasquatch might make an exemption.
b) To prevent sneeze goo from blowing back into your eyes.
c) Your eyelids don't actually close. You really just go blind for a fraction of a second from the power of the sneeze and you only THINK your eyelids have closed.
d) We don't actually know why this happens, but the most agreed upon scientific explanation is that the nerves that trigger the sneeze impulse are so close to those that control the opening and closing of your eyelids that your face gets confused when a sneeze hits--and your eyelids blink.
a) To keep the eyes from sproinking out. No, that's possible but unlikely.
b) To prevent blowback of sneeze goo into eyes. It's possible but again, unlikely. Perhaps if I was riding on a motorcycle I would be concerned about blowback so I say no to choice "b".
c) Eyelids don't actually close, we only think they do. NO, my eyelids actually close, there's no doubt about that.
d) Ears, eyes, nose and throat are wickedly intertwined. I kinda think that "d" is the correct response, science doesn't actually know why this phenomenon happens. Yes, option "d" is the correct response.
By the way, JustWill, your multiple choice response made my head get hurty.
I learned a new word today.
If you ever need a word for something, just let me know. For you, I won't even charge...
Also, you should change your profile name to Mr.Yumm so that I can do the "mention" thing ( @Mr.Yumm@ ) with it, dammit!
Sure, I'm okay with 2nice , but you will ALWAYs be Mr.Yumm to me!
I don't know you well enough to share that kind of detail.
(For those of you whom I DO know well enough--in the spirit of this thread and just in case you are curious: it hurt. Neither one of us really knew what we were doing, as it was the first time for both of us. With a little practice, though, it got MUCH better.)
Butter scotch or vanilla for me. Chocolate is a 3rd
At some point, some caveperson had to think: "Golly, I wonder what this chunky stuff in that bowl of curdled milk tastes like..."
What would the candy world be like if some genius didn't slap some peanut butter on their chocolate?
Different folk like different flavors.
I mean, some people actually like licorice, for gawd's sake.
Plus, all of the flavors you list are NOT cheese.
Some people are REALLY into cheese...
Quit being so darn judgy.
