RE: Bloody marys and you

Not sure: Retch: [Origin: 1540–50; var. of reach, OE hrǣcan to clear the throat (not recorded in ME), deriv. of hrāca a clearing of the throat; cf. ON hrǣkja to hawk, spit]

and

This is extremely common in Australia. In fact probably more common than its proper usage. e.g People will say “I dry reached after smelling it” or “I was dry reaching” meaning to gag to the point of vomiting. I assume this stems from the verb to reach; as in a quick forward motion, similar to that of gagging (dry retching).


"var. of reach" ~ Is "reach" the original word and WE are saying it incorrectly? Nah, stupid stuff speads easily. Like "rediculous."

Oh LC, now I'm craving chips with guacamole and hot salsa.

I think Dick got a headstart on the celebration:

I agree. She's a stupid bitch who only has her word as "fact". Besides, she's a proven internet liar.

You are assuming I care about what you think.

My post was in support of IMaDick’s postion. Unfortunately, it seems, once again, your need for center stage dictated a perception of me actually giving a damn about you AND your beliefs. How sad. It’s actually quite pathetic. Or is the proper Australian jargon for your continued behavior, “wretched”?

Okay. That was a bit of a reach on my part. Especially, since I lack your extensive medical training. hah

Even though he doesn't post all in CAPITAL LETTERS, Sterling always comes across like he's yelling in his posts (to me). He's funny and smart but I think he drinks a lot of Red Bull or something.

I picture him like his avatar--a crazy, loud, negro.

Can you believe that is Demi's (and that skinny Home Alone boy's) secret to weight loss?

I can't stand Red Bull. Those energy drinks destroy your innards.

Why that is what I call a "typo". A mistake. A poor display of proof reading on my end. I'm flattered you hang on my every post. I guess you do give a damn about my musings, after all.
