Members Ivor The Engine Driver Posted June 17, 2005 Members Share Posted June 17, 2005 Originally posted by Thelonius What the {censored} does 'arm parenthesis' mean? You know what finger quotes are, right? When someone makes quotation marks with his/her fingers while talking, to emphasize a certain word. Well, take that concept and apply it to arms and the use of parentheses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing at simulating parenthesis with your arms, like when people quote with their fingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BillyGrahamCracker Posted June 17, 2005 Members Share Posted June 17, 2005 My favorite is when someone sends an all-company email with this sort of request: "Hey. Did anyone tape last night's season finale of Will and Grace? Because I missed it. If you would let me borrow it, I'd really appreciate it! -Jill" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gethsemane Posted June 17, 2005 Members Share Posted June 17, 2005 i feel your pain. i was in an education class two semesters ago (where i had to write a children's book) and it was all this goofy {censored} you're describing and more. the class was filled with emotionally retarded girls (9 out of 10 education majors) who would sigh and cry over every other children's book. the whole experience was frightening, and i never expected to suffer spiritual trauma at the hands of "lyle lyle crocodile." the really unfortunate part is that it does not end here. no! these are the people who go on to teach others, and those others are the ones who end up in this class you're describing and work in offices along side you.

It looks cool everytime I see it. But I've never bought it. I have it on hold at the library; I think I'm #3 on the list, but there are like five or ten copies, so I should have it in a week or two. For a great read, though, try Truman Capote's In Cold Blood. Probably the best crime non-fiction book; at least it set the bar for well-written ones and for literary non-fiction...AND it provided me my moniker.
