Nov 22	comment	Euphemism for “There's more than one way to skin a cat” @jackweirdy: What? Are you gonna try to argue that there's only one way? :D
Nov 22	comment	Euphemism for “There's more than one way to skin a cat” Note that you can also use all of those verbs while retaining the original noun 'cat'. Except perhaps 'make'.

Oct 23	comment	Word for small junk items in household We used to always call it "the third drawer". Even when we moved into a bigger place, and it moved up to the second drawer...
Oct 23	comment	Word for small junk items in household I was going to suggest this too. I think the wiktionary definition is probably a bit off.
Oct 17	comment	“Left” and “right” are to “side” as “front” and “rear” are to what? (s/wall/painting/). To back your argument though, "end" is also used in biology.
Oct 17	comment	“Left” and “right” are to “side” as “front” and “rear” are to what? Exactly, end is not to front/rear as side is to left/right. It just happens to be in the particular instance provided as an example. The front and rear of the wall are not "ends".
Oct 17	comment	“Left” and “right” are to “side” as “front” and “rear” are to what? "Top end" and "bottom end" often refer ranges, or qualities. Also, the "top end" of Australia in the northern Northern Territory. I don't think end is exclusive to, or even implies, front/back, except in limited circumstances. Also, which end of a stick is the front?
Oct 16	comment	“Pardon me French” It's also quite prominent in Australia, wherever you encounter bogans. As in "give us back me duzza ya bastard!"
Oct 15	revised	*What the #$@&%! is that called?** re-instate title
Oct 15	comment	*What name for bowdlerisation with asterisks (e.g., “fck”)?** Often this is used for more than one letter, like fk, or "f*ing c*".
Oct 15	comment	*What the #$@&%! is that called?** That would usually imply something more like blacking out, or crossing off.

Oct 15	comment	*What the #$@&%! is that called?** tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SymbolSwearing also uses "graxlixes", and also "profanitype".
Oct 15	comment	*What the #$@&%! is that called?** That's the best ☠@✴#ing question title I've ever seen.
Oct 14	comment	What animal is a “weefil”? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musteline would be a better line. Nice answer :)
Oct 9	comment	Is “the girls are want to gossip” correct? @BillFranke: Archaic implies out of date, or no-longer in use, which isn't true. But it's certainly old-fashioned. If someone was heard to say this in Australia, the response would probably be something along the lines of "So yer a poet, are ya?"
Sep 18	asked	“Is likely to be” vs “are likely to be”
Jul 28	comment	A word for something that is both useful and beautiful Doesn't work for evolved things though - like hands.
