History Forum / General / British History / November 2008Essential new online dictionary
Now that Unpleasant Hines has returned to disturb the beautiful peace that we have all enjoyed for a few days, I welcome him back with my discovery of an online dictionary which seems to be intended to help Koreans to learn English. It doesn't give definitions for every word, but it does cite loads of authentic examples gleaned from the Internet. For example, look at the entry for "w.nker": http://engdic.daum.net/dicen/search.do?endic_kind=ee&m=all&q=wanker This is probably the only dictionary where you will find the word "poguette" http://engdic.daum.net/dicen/search.do?endic_kind=ee&m=all&q=poguette or the adjective Hinesian http://engdic.daum.net/dicen/search.do?endic_kind=ee&m=all&q=hinesian The entry for Hines has some good examples http://engdic.daum.net/dicen/search.do?endic_kind=ee&m=all&q=hines James > Now that Unpleasant Hines has returned to disturb the beautiful > peace that we have all enjoyed for a few days, I welcome him back [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > For example, look at the entry for "w.nker": > http://engdic.daum.net/dicen/search.do?endic_kind=ee&m=all&q=wanker Love this one: My concern is that if he continues to be such a w.nker, he may well pull it off. (??: USENET) > Now that Unpleasant Hines has returned to disturb the beautiful > peace that we have all enjoyed for a few days, I welcome him back [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > "poguette" > http://engdic.daum.net/dicen/search.do?endic_kind=ee&m=all&q=poguette It gives Usenet as the source for that. I can probably tell you exactly who said it. Well, give you one guess. > Now that Unpleasant Hines has returned to disturb the beautiful > peace that we have all enjoyed for a few days, I welcome him back [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > For example, look at the entry for "w.nker": > http://engdic.daum.net/dicen/search.do?endic_kind=ee&m=all&q=wanker Now why did that word occur to you? "My concern is that if he continues to be such a w.nker, he may well pull it off."

Seriously, it's a good idea, since you see words used in context!

Especially words like "hiney" with contexts like these: "If you want to continue to live life with your head up your hiney, be my guest." "When he was seized, forensic science officers found Hiney abusing himself at a website with explicit images of interracial sex." I think that last quote must come from yours truly.

Thank God for the Scottish National Dictionary, which gives full source references when they quote an author, e.g. s.v. hindberry: *Slk. 1813 Hogg Queens Wake 167: The [scarlet] hyp and the hyndberrye, And the nytt that hang frae the hesil tree. *s.Sc. 1931 H. McDiarmid First Hymn to Lenin 20: My faither wi his cheeks like hines. Nice this in a hymn to Lenin, but it must be said that nobody has a cheek like Hines.

Well yes, but you were thinking about a certain person as well, no? >> Seriously, it's a good idea, since you see words used in >> context! [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > "If you want to continue to live life with your head up your > hiney, be my guest." Near the place where I live, the word "hiney" is indeed used in that sense. > "When he was seized, forensic science officers found Hiney > abusing himself at a website with explicit images of interracial > sex." > > I think that last quote must come from yours truly. Now why would you think something like that? Dennis |
