MoseySusan Posted February 17, 2022 Share #1 Posted February 17, 2022 The list of words we dislike saying. At the top: moist. But the WP thinks we can get over it.

MoseySusan Posted February 17, 2022 Author Share #4 Posted February 17, 2022 MS: Do you like the muffins? mr: Yah. They’re great. MS: They’re just average size. What about the texture? I crushed some of the blueberries before adding them in. mr: It’s good. Nice and…edible. MS: Not dry at all. Good crumb… mr: I’m not going to say that word. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddmaxx ★ Posted February 17, 2022 Share #6 Posted February 17, 2022 A dongle is common on engineering computers. Often the design software is licensed for use on a limited number of computers. To use the software, a "dongle" must be plugged into the computer. Think of it as an electronic pass code for the software. The software queries the "dongle" to see if it's running in an approved environment. No dongle is going to be a failure to launch. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I once fractured my dongle by lifting up the laptop with the dongle sticking oot the rear end so it broked. Bad designs all around. The usb port should have been on the side.

I also dislike smirk. It’s the physical equivalent of onomatopoeia; you make that face while you’re saying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dottleshead ★ Posted February 18, 2022 Share #15 Posted February 18, 2022 So if some confronted you with a moist dongle in your onomatopoeia -- you'd smirk? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. I avoid the word smirk. I wouldn’t smirk. I might shake my head, though. Keep that moistened dongle away from my onomatopoeia, please. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
