Oh dear, my pale attempt at humour has gone awry. Allow me to once again post the OED entry, with one thing highlighted for added emphasis:
Quote:
My apologies to the Professor for my presumption, to Helen for appearing as though I were lecturing, and to all for the putting on of airs (makes me sound like I'm a bald Yorkshireman -- get it? "Putting on 'airs" like in a wig? Like I said, pale attempts at humour).

Eh, Fordim? What's that?
...An apology? ....oh. (Hefts gauntlet, and-- once again-- scratches head. Signs, returns gauntlet to Mithalwen, and bends a leery eye on the man who called Captain Faramir a dweeb.)

Okay. If at first you don't succeed....
Once there was a thread that worried about the changes in the Downs as time went on. Less book-emphasis, more movie-emphasis, too many Legolusters, lowering of overall post-quality, and loss of old scholarly members due to all of the above. Can somebody remember the thread name, originator, or some searchable text contained within so that I can find the bloody thread? Please?
