The new sobriquet's origin is Bryant's incessant whingeing.

"Whingeing"???

What kind of asshole can spell "sobriquet" but not "whining"? One that's most
likely drunk.....

From Merriam-Webster:

"Main Entry: whinge
Pronunciation: 'hwinj, 'winj
Function: intransitive verb
Inflected Form(s): whinged; whing·ing or whinge·ing
Etymology: from (assumed) Middle English, from Old English hwinsian;
akin to Old High German winsOn to moan
British : to complain fretfully : WHINE"




Perhaps you could purchase a finer dictionary?
The two - dollar specials from Wal Mart *do*
seem a bit limited.

As to my state of sobriety, I am, and have
been for years, sober as a judge. And the
reference to "Lare's Boyfriend?" Priceless!

Do try harder, Brybaby. You're missing the mark.

My second response to Brybaby:

"Dearest Brybaby,

In future, please refrain from sending replies to my
email inbox.

If you wish to respond to my newsgroup posts,
please do so in the newsgroup.

This will be your only warning.

Cordially,

Stephen M.H. Lawrence

One question: If Brybaby refuses my request and continues to fill
my inbox, does that constitute harassment?

Or, perhaps doing so would simply constitute an AOL TOS violation?

Inquiring minds want to know.

On the other hand, I *do* have a life to live. Perhaps merely
disregarding Brybaby's whingeing emails would be for the best.
