I also admit that I too wondered if that word meant wh ore since I have never seen the word hoor before. I also admit then to never ever wondering (until last night) what a "hoor" is. Since it was Liberalman and not me who used it - let's ask him what a hoor is. :?:
As an aside, it would not let me use even part of the word I wanted to use so maybe that's why it was spelled the way it was and it's why I have spelled it like I have.
Tounge? What is that? Some weird kind of object one sits on? At least that's what I thought when I saw the "word" first. According to one of my kids, "tounge" is bad spelling for the wiggly things in people's mouths called "tongues".
"What's up" and its variations.
Up defined: "being or moving higher in position or greater in some value; being above a former position or level;" The antonym is "down"

Oh... I thought my ears were tingling.
My personal take on the thread title....
I thought it was just trolling for a reaction from the religious crowd, given the timing, and the insensitivity of it. As a religious person, I simply thought a little less of the author, and moved on.
But as someone who appreciates language and meaning, the thread title picked my butt because it makes no sense. No one publicly murders language in order to drive home a point to others. There are words other than crucify that do make sense in the context of what the thread claims to be trying to explore. But the fact that they chose a word that makes no sense in the context, just goes to prove the point that they are being sensationalist and looking for a rise out of the religious.
Then you will both have the environmentalists after you. One of you chopping down trees and the other using the paper from them to draw on!! 8O
Good response, Karrie, Y.J. will be happier now. I was just using "crucifiction" as a metaphor, Jesus was just one example of a crucifiction, so I don't think the word should solely be associated with Him. By that reasoning if I was to say "murdering the English language" that would be just as offensive. Have a happy Easter.
One has to wonder what would be said if Cliffy was terrorized by gays as a child. Of course, seeing as his terror stems from the Catholic Church and given their history....
