| 1227444 | 2011-09-01 06:16:00 | J is just running a bunch of fixes, including the Search index. I'd prefer if we got everything ported over before you did any other fixes. Ask me next tuesday. :-) If people have strong opinions on the list you provided (handy list!) they should speak up. Do you have a link to next Tuesday? - I don't see any quick way to there from here. ;) |

| 1227445 | 2011-09-01 06:17:00 | Joke answer: it was an ancient form of mud therapy. Real answer: One of the places where dinosaur remains have been found is in the LaBrea (? SurferJoe ?) tarpits in the USA. Presumably there would have been large-scale slurping as they tried to break free. It is supposed to be Petronius Arbiter, 310 BC, but I suspect it is a bit of an urban myth. Verb: Eat or drink (something) with a loud sucking noise: "she slurped her coffee"; "he slurped noisily from a wine cup". Noun: A loud sucking sound made while eating or drinking.

I suspect "slurp" is actually used rather more widely than is implied by the dictionary definition. |

| 1227449 | 2011-09-01 06:37:00 | 'Slurp" - the sound of a giant mastodon as it tries to pull one foot up out of black goo (see: La Brea tar Pits), not to be confused with the sounds of saber tooth tigers slurping the innards out of said giant mastodons as they thrash and swoon during their death by submersion in North Hollywood, California. | SurferJoe46 (51) | ||

| 1227452 | 2011-09-01 07:16:00 | Actually, the dinosaurs predate the dictionary (and the English Language) so that would have been an onomatopoeic slurp, which was the only valid one at the time. Musically the dinosaur reference that involves the reverse of sucking or licking might be "But the music that excels Is the sound of oil wells As they slurp, slurp, slurp into the barrels." If it excels, it has got to be good. |
