I came across serendipitously. Thursday, 28 May 2009. I'm not going so far as to admit that I participate in slicklegging. I just came serendipitously across slicklegging. While watching the fabulous adaptation of Jake Arnott's The Long Firm. By the BBC. Here is the according excerpt of that scene from the book. According to Sodomy and the Pirate Tradition. By Barry Richard Burg, the expression slicklegging. Does not extend into heterosexual vocabulary. Wednesday, 27 May 2009. Which has to be overcome.

I came across serendipitously. Sunday, 19 July 2009. Yesterday evening we enjoyed a relaxed 25 course dinner at Denis Martin. In Vevey. If you are facing 25 courses, not all are actually that big. Since the main emphases lies on the taste of the course, to each one specific instruction were given on how it had to be eaten to exploit it to the max. Some of them, like the Lingot d'Or (gold bullion) below, had to be eaten à une bouchée. Tuesday, 14 July 2009. I so hope it was a tongue-in-cheek.

I came across serendipitously. Thursday, 20 August 2009. Exaggerated or foolish talk, usually intended to deceive: “snookered by a lot of malarkey”. Too Here right now, humidity is only 56% and the temperature is at 27.9°C/82.2ºF. Foretasted are 34ºC/93.2ºF. Thus I expect even more wilting for the afternoon. Wednesday, 12 August 2009. The Indians introduced the term prepone. Sunday, 9 August 2009. A couple of years ago, we had major discussions about monder. Alicia has to know this. So how does one monder.

I came across serendipitously. Thursday, 22 October 2009. Deeply moved or delighted; enraptured: listened to the speaker with rapt admiration. Deeply absorbed; engrossed: was rapt in thought all evening. One might be surprised to learn that rapt,. A word used in describing states of deep delight or absorption, has a relative with an entirely different emotive force- rape. Now most often used to mean "to force someone to submit to sexual acts," rape. As this quotation shows, rapt. As time went on, rapt.

I came across serendipitously. Thursday, 7 January 2010. The German term null. Stands for both zero. In the figurative sense). So please read the following with both meanings in mind (puns are just not translatable). Hugo, a colleague of mine, has the pastime of reading math textbooks. Recently he was studying one on Fourier transform, in which there was a chapter on zero-padding - the method of of extending a signal (or spectrum) with zeros. The author's first recommendation is: A lot of zeros are good!

I came across serendipitously. Friday, 3 April 2009. I serendipitously came across the term pelican crossing. In a post by Jae. On things he’ll never understand. The term pelican crossing seems to be a rather British thing. Actually it's wrong. The official name is Pelicon crossing (short for PE. Trolled crossing). That is, if a pedestrian wants to cross, he has to press a button and to wait for the tiny green man to appear (the one on the signal not the one from Mars). But no control signals.

just some words: trouble
http://gomadforwords.blogspot.com/2009/10/trouble.html
I came across serendipitously. Saturday, 10 October 2009. I serendipitously came across trouble. Last night when having some drinks at el Lokal. Where I asked Toño to bring me a Saft. If you are under the impression that I was in trouble, you are wrong. Because I got exactly what I wanted: an unfiltered cider. The French call this Cidre Trouble. But why they use a French term under the Swiss German brand Burehöfler. I honestly don't know. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Las calles de mi pueblo.

just some words: Saft
http://gomadforwords.blogspot.com/2009/10/saft.html
I came across serendipitously. Saturday, 10 October 2009. I did not actually came serendipitously across the term Saft. I grew up with it. Most German speaking people think Saft. Is a juice or sap. This is so completely wrong! Is cider, alcoholic beverage made from the fermented juice of apples. Or at least it is, where I grew up. However, when I here in Zürich order a Saft. I get a OJ, this is just so wrong. When will they learn? This is my father's production line. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
