Clever play. I don't follow the hysterical link that came next. Oh well. The term hysteria comes from the Greek word for uterus, and this is the link to endometriosis. More reading below. https://academic.mu.edu/meissnerd/hysteria.html |

Ah got it. Those Greeks had some strange ideas. Thanks for the link. |

Thanks on the "hysterical" as I found it sexist. Uh still do but what came before and so on... It's an incredibly sexist term. I'm surprised that word is still such a common part of our vernacular in other contexts. And now we're talking about it, and people who had not previously understood the association are thinking about it. |

Thanks on the "hysterical" as I found it sexist. Uh still do but what came before and so on... True. I understand language evolves. I am guessing our word game is part of that :) Just one question. I ask this because of your choice of moniker and you don't have to answer. It was just another confusing layer in decrypting the word link. Due to the "Spartana" I assumed you are female because of the feminine form of "Spartano" which seems to be an adjective as in a lifestyle. Pardon my limited skills on this one but that made it doubly confusing. The other aspect I considered was that it was intended to be "Punny" ( Pun + Funny ) as a comment on the flow on the thread.. á´¡á´‡ ᴅᴀʀᴇsá´€Ê á´€Ê™á´á´œá´› ᴛʜᴇ ᴘᴀsá´› ᴛʜᴀᴛ ɪᴛ ɪs ғɪɴɪᴛᴇ Êᴇᴛ á´¡á´‡ ᴅᴀʀᴇ É´á´á´› ʙᴇʟɪᴇᴠᴇ ᴛʜᴇ ғᴜᴛᴜʀᴇ ɪs. |

Has something to do with the Spartans. á´¡á´‡ ᴅᴀʀᴇsá´€Ê á´€Ê™á´á´œá´› ᴛʜᴇ ᴘᴀsá´› ᴛʜᴀᴛ ɪᴛ ɪs ғɪɴɪᴛᴇ Êᴇᴛ á´¡á´‡ ᴅᴀʀᴇ É´á´á´› ʙᴇʟɪᴇᴠᴇ ᴛʜᴇ ғᴜᴛᴜʀᴇ ɪs. |

I regularly listen to the radio panel game "I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue" where this game is played, and to hear masters of stand-up navigate their way out of a "swear trap" set by an opponent is quite an education in the use of the English language Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |
