sorciere with all due respect, what makes you think the 'whiskers' thing is outdated and implies sarcasm?[baffled]. But i agree i shouldn't have put the question that way, maybe because i'm too old for this game. So I quit.

What made me think you wonder? Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary and Macmillan Dictionary. The age doesn't matter when one is eager to learn new things.

Ой, нет, зачем же уходить? sorciere совсем не хотела никого обидеть, просто хотела как лучше - исправить ошибки. Игры на этом форуме для того и нужны, чтобы совершенствовать английский, применять его в разных ситуациях.

What does it entail, I wonder?

But man is not made for defeat. A man can be destroyed but not defeated.

Problem 1. "The girl thing".My granny would always tell me to never argue with a woman for you're a doomed to waste time and lose your moral equilibrum simultaneously. Now I'm generally a good boy and i prefer to follow wise people's advice.Far be it from me to start an argument with a lady. I really hate to flame this thread ? [there are three elements in my explanation that make it sound bookish. can you point them out ]
Problem 2 'Whiskers and Monolingual Dictionaries' My sources don't say anything about the word 'whiskers' in this meaning except that it's informal. I've got whiskers, so does my dotcomrade from Scotland who wears ones too. [that's the hint]. By my sources I mean Longman Contemporary..., Merriam Webster Collegiate, Collins Cobuild for Advanced Learners. The word 'whiskers' bore in my case the connotation of irony, humor, not one of sarcasm or anything remotely resembling a scoff. Now i really got tired of tapping flood on my PDA.
All the above-said brings me to one simple and "extraordinarily" reasonable conlusion: You guyz should start a thread entitled "Verbal Attacks". [just kidding]. No offence intended, sorciere. I have no other intention than to learn more from this forum, help and be helped. And above all, be part of a community that shares one noble interest - English. wink
