    But we have a word for outlaws - politician.

    One of my favorite words is dudess [dude-ess], as in, most excellent dudess! Bill and Ted still get me laughs with the young ladies.

    I know what he means. Stephanopoulos, Yiannopoulous, Herodotus, are Greek names.

    Yeah, but then pulchritude is a Latin word meaning beauty.

    Beer. Everytime I say beer it makes me happier. Symbolic perhaps of relaxation, camaraderie, or less stress. Either that or I'm just a drunk.

    someone mentioned

    'cellar door' (and Donnie Darko?)

    it was at one time voted (internationally, not just in English speaking countries) the most beautiful phrase in human speech.

    I can dig it. Say it a few times, with emphasis and a little musicality. It's very pretty.

    So is Homer. Doesn't sound Greek, sounds more like a name for a racing pigeon. :eyes:
