| 124224 | 2003-02-26 19:36:00 | According to Paul Holmes minutes ago on the radio, pixelate is a word found in the dictionary as far back as 1840 which means to be tormented by Pixies! Couldn't find it in my dictionary, can anyone else find it in theirs? | Danger (287) | ||
| 124225 | 2003-02-27 02:04:00 | My dictionaries have this: pixilated: 1. eccentric or whimsical 2. drunk :D pixilated: 1. eccentric, daft, puckish, etc 2. drunk Both from Collins Concise English Dictionary, different publishing dates. |

| 124227 | 2003-02-27 02:37:00 | Well, someone was going to do it! Dictionary.com sez (dictionary.reference.com): "pixilated: adj 1: naughtily or annoyingly playful; "teasing and worrying with impish laughter" [syn: impish, implike, mischievous, prankish, puckish] 2: slang for `drunk' [syn: besotted, blind, blind drunk, blotto, crocked, fuddled, loaded, pissed, plastered, potty, slopped, sloshed, smashed, soaked, soused, sozzled, squiffy, stiff, tiddly, tiddley, tight, tipsy, wet]" Spose you could say that one was being tormented by pixies if one were pixilated. Not pixelated though. |

| 124228 | 2003-02-27 02:42:00 | Ah - more googling later: "pixilated (whatis.techtarget.com): Also see pixelation (whatis.techtarget.com), which is unrelated. Pixilated, an adjective derived from pixie (a fairy elf), describes someone who is whimsical or bemused, slightly drunk (tipsy), or, according to Webster's, "somewhat unbalanced mentally." Why that is defined at whatis.com is beyond me! |
