How about this: \"No anenometer can survive the maelstrom when our buccaneer breaks wind.\"

You winz! :faint:
You must think me a podgy, piteous navvy whose only tenable claim to eminence lies in such diurnal endeavours as philately. How dare you seek to beguile uninitiated readers into plaudits with such an implicit allegation of temperance on my part? Yarr! Does my scabbard appear empty and does my skull appear to be suffused with osseous matter? I take umbrage at such an unequivocal slight! I hereby challenge you to a duel. Pursuant to Chapter VI of the KSP Code, no proverbial supervening injury resulting therefrom shall give rise to any cause to commit either participant to a bedlam nor shall any fatality be considered cause to indict either participant for manslaughter.3Boys:

I feel that list is ridiculous…
chim words is fine as challenge… but at least it should be useful words. Why ask them to learn stuff that is rarely encountered? sorry, "rarely" is understatement… some words are practically "useless"… IMO… -
Anyone been intrigued by this list? I was, dunno why, while I was floating off to la-la land. :siao:
So as soon as I could, I saw the list on my way to work and noted down the first thoughts that came when I saw them. I was surprised at the connections or images that poped when i saw some words. It could have been from the book or somehow I associate that word with it....
And now I have typed them out for you eminent KSPers to analyse/interpert and share what your images/connections ...
Here goes:
1.\tAnemometer – This image is stuck in my mind is of an anemometer prominent in the background with a brightly coloured rooster crowing in the front. Any one knows what I am talking about?
2.\tBedlam – Enid Blyton – Naughtiest Girl
3.\tBeguile – Thorn Bird. Dun even remember the story but the moment I saw this work that is what came to my head. A very strong connection.
4.\tBuccaneer – image of a pirate with a wicked smile “ho ho ho and a bottle of rum” (Book- Treasure Island). Pretty obvious connection.
5.\tDiurnal – Nothing specific
6.\tDomicile – To Kill a Mocking Bird. Again dunno why?
7.\tEminence – Gone With the wind . Actually a common word but somehow my brain associates it with this book.
8.\tImplicit – Perry Mason. Pretty obvious connection – and my first lawyer book. ( my first crush too :oops: )
9.\tIndict – Again Perry Mason.
10.\tManslaughter – This one is so Perry Mason.
11.\tNavvy – I plead ignorance . I thought the word was misspelt . :oops:
12.\tOsseous – I plead ignorance again.
13.\tPhilately – General. My close friend had this hobby, and in general I guess I knew more about stamps than an average tween today .
14.\tPiteous – To Kill a Mocking Bird. Another strong connection.
15.\tPlaudits – Jeffery Archer. I am not sure if it was in his books or in the briefs about him. It somehow links…
16.\tPodgy – I confused this with pudgy, another Enid Blyton word ( from the Five Findouters - the policeman)
17.\tPursuant – Nothing specific
18.\tScabbard - strongly Sherlock Holmes.
19.\tSuffuse – Sherlock Holmes again.
20.\tSupervening - Perry Mason
21.\tTemperance – PG woodhouse. Again another vague connection.
22.\tTenable – Nothing specific
23.\tUmbrage - Enid Blyton. Image of a large woman in apron taking “umbrage” …
24.\tUnequivocal –Pride and Prejudice. Dun know if this word was ever used in the book but “image” of Elizabeth comes to mind. -
ha ha ha nicely done dear!!
now you have given images to each word…really a colourful world out there… -
