"foiled again"
depression allieved by responding to Rich's away message. it was the inspiration of this essay
ever wonder what is really meant by the term 'foiled'? the most obvious is aluminium foil, its unclear as to how that could 'foil' a human being. you are not a baked potato.
the foil character in literature brings out the traits as of the main character. he is the handy dandy side-kick. His point is to be a shallow blank to show off the main characters goods and bads.
the same is almost true of a comedic foil. A comedic foil is usually the straight man who brings out the stupidity and humor of the other character. I'm sorry but I don't quite see you as ever being a comedic foil.
The term 'foiled' seems like its most likely to come from the fencing sword. A foil (sword) has a blunted (foiled) tip. This makes the most sense in any use of the term.
what YOU may find most interesting is that there was a grunge band called 'Foil' in the 90s.
