I learned a new word today

Snarge

The residue smeared on an airplane after a bird/plane collision. The snarge is generally all that is left of the bird. Every day numerous samples are taken off of airplanes and sent in for DNA testing to help map out what kinds of birds are colliding with airplanes. Both the FAA and military have a vested interest in these results.

I like it! Can we use snargy as an adjective?

I come here only for the vocabulary lessons. Today I got a new acronym and two new words -- TIAPB and snarge/snargy.

Life is good.

Like Mr. Skoko, my high school English teacher told us, Use them in a sentence and they are yours. Whoa, that bum is as snargy as a TIAPB!

BTW I though you were also here for the target practice on the gun range. (That's what spock said anyway)
Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

Would the adverb be snargely or snargily? :mrgreen:
Ignorance is a curable, temporary condition. Stupidity is permanent, and often terminal.
