Sir Dord.

Apr 21, 2004 11:55

For some unknown reason, when I was 11 and first heard the song: "To Sir with Love" (by Lulu) I somehow automatically assumed the word "sir" in the title was a verb (instead of a recipient.) Only this morning when I saw the title printed again did I realize that "sir" was, of course, referring to a person and that "sirring" is not really an action ( Read more... )

Nice idea of to sir, Sir!

Maybe one day THAT will make it's way into the dictionaries, if you keep on using it often!

It doesn't really have many practical applications though...maybe if it's definition was expanded to adding anything to any liquid. Then it could replace "add to" in cookbooks.

Sir the eggs into the batter.

...something like that.

Do you prefer to sir milk or cream in your coffee?

Wow. That was amusing. To sir...

redscarfboy April 21 2004, 08:08:20 UTC

Well, with LOVE, of course.

You know...it's like to bake with love...like cookies baked with love?

It's a like a milkshake sirred with love.

Oh god, this is sounding more and more stupid by the second...

oh man, I love that movie. Sidney Potier- haven't seen him do anything in ages. It's a shame, really.

redscarfboy April 21 2004, 08:09:00 UTC

It's a movie? I only ever knew of the song. Off to do some imdb.com research...

vamessedup April 21 2004, 14:32:26 UTC

oh yes oh yes, called...wait for it....To Sir, With Love. Starring.....Sidney Portier, featuring Lulu. It's a great movie, he takes a job teaching in a brittish secondary school for a bunch of disrespectful, "loser" students. It's like the original Stand and Deliver, except without all the standardized math test bs. That song is performed as a way of saying goodbye to the teacher. It's really touching, I recommend watching it when you get a chance.

I think "to sir" sounds suspiciously like "to stir."

I think you'll agree.

I think I'm your sister.

Oh, but I'm really Japanese and adopted.

Why don't you go eat those berries on the bushes outside, Chris? Nothing will happen.

to sir some syrup of ippacac with love...

Who's your daddy?

anonymous April 22 2004, 11:01:48 UTC

There is only one answer to that question: "The Chinese Daddy."

You have got to be the biggest word-geek I know. There's got to be some way that you can use this to make money. I'll let you know when I have a business proposal for you.

Maybe you could make up a new word game while you're in Germany. Games that come from Germany are almost always good.

Re: DORK! redscarfboy April 21 2004, 17:18:56 UTC

:P

Why not just a which words are real and which are not game?

Re: DORK! stuntviolist April 21 2004, 19:45:59 UTC

If you want to make a good German game you need to make sure that set up and (tear down) time is longer than game play. That is the only way to win Spiel des Jahres.
