What does “fundamental tenants” mean? (not occupant) Makes you wish it was wikipedia, then you could just fix it. |

What does “an unwillingness of a privileged white author to abandon his frame” mean? Cool question with no SE home? |

What's the difference between “hallow”, “sacred”, “holy” and “saint”? I have read the use of "Saint" to refer to people in the Muslim religion, as well as of Sikh "Saints". As the english word saint comes from the Latin sanctus, the original use is indeed a term specific to Christianity, but that is no longer the case. |

What's the difference between “hallow”, “sacred”, “holy” and “saint”? This question assumes there's a difference. Remember English is chock full of synonyms that have almost no definable difference other than the difference of the contexts where their use is most common. Oh, and Saint=noun, hallow=verb, Sacred,Holy=adjectives. Core non-circular word behind all of these is that the moral perfection that pertains to a Deity is being referred to, either as Holy, or Sacred, with mean about the same thing. |

How to refer to ladies who promote a particular beer brand? Booth babes definitely is one of the places where this occurs often in the US (and Canada). While I have not seen a woman promoting a beverage in a bar in Canada or in the USA, I have seen promotional models in many places outside trade-shows. For example, at sports events (auto races especially), and downtown in large cities, or in tourist-favoured areas there are often young women (or men, but more often women) handing out free samples and wearing brand-inspired clothes while basically advertising for some product or brand. |

How to refer to ladies who promote a particular beer brand? For a novel, this seems like it would work well. Introduce "Schlops Beer" on page 2, and on page 3, a mention of a "Schops Beer Girl" would hardly need additional explanation. |

One word for the type of smile which suggests “I’ve got you! Now you can’t escape!” Are we writing a novel? |
