| 258400 | 2004-08-05 08:12:00 | > Quite a few words fit the format Hi R2, out of curiosity, what other words change from a verb to a noun when you capitalise the first letter? |

| 258403 | 2004-08-05 09:02:00 | Ooo-er, godfather Bet you don't say dove when swimming (unless you have American roots you're keeping quiet?) And your 2nd invalid was an adjective when I went to school...unless you were invalided out of the army? Liked the last 2, though |

| 258404 | 2004-08-05 09:11:00 | But on 2nd thoughts, they're all wrong. Andrew's question relates to capitalising. Polish still the only one correct so far... |

You're on to it Laura - I once read this in a book by Isaac Asimov years and years ago and have yet to find another verb whose meaning is changed into a noun by capitalsing the first letter. |

| 258408 | 2004-08-05 10:36:00 | This word changes you don't have capitalise the letters BUZZ, the busy F word. Perhaps one of the most interesting words in the English language today is the word BUZZ. Out of all the English words that begin with the letter F, BUZZ is the only word that is referred to as the F word. it's the one magical word. Just by it's sound it can describe pain, pleasure, hate and love. BUZZ as most words in the English language is derived from German, the word FLECKIN which means to strike. In English BUZZ falls into many grammatical categories. As a transitive verb for instance, John BUZZed Shirley As an intransitive verb Shirley BUZZs It's meanings are not always sexual, It can be used as an adjective, such as, John's doing all the BUZZing work As part of a adverb Shirley talks too BUZZing much As an adverb enhancing a adjective Shirley is BUZZing beautiful As a noun I don't give a BUZZ As part of a word abso-BUZZing-lutely or in-BUZZing-credible And almost every word in a sentence BUZZ the BUZZing BUZZers As you must realize there aren't too many words with the versatility of BUZZ, as in these example describing situations such as, fraud I got BUZZed at the used car lot. dismay Oh BUZZ it. trouble I guess I'm really BUZZed now. aggression don't BUZZ with me buddy. difficulty I don't understand this BUZZing question. inquiry who the BUZZ was that? dissatisfaction, I don't like what the BUZZ is going on here. incompetence he's a BUZZ off. dismissal why don't you go outside and play hide and go BUZZ yourself. I'm sure you can think of many more examples, With all of these multipurpose applications how can anyone be offended when you use the word, we say use this unique flexible word more often in your daily speech, it will identify the quality of your character immediately. Say it loudly and proudly "BUZZ YOU !!" |
