[Ansteorra] Having fun with words (was Corsetry)

[Kelandra Carmichael]

However, if you combine the spellings of

ogle 1 : to eye amorously or provocatively 2 : to look at especially with
greedy or interested attention
 and
goggle to stare with wide or protuberant eyes (Merriam Webster Dictionary
Online Reference)

--you would get the word google--the word makes sense new words have joined
our lexicology for years with this trick--

Perhaps the definition of google would be

google--(1 : to eye amorously or provocatively with wide or protuberant
eyes)
2 : to look at especially with greedy or interested attention with wide or
protuberant eyes

Having fun with our diverse language-- :)

Oh, for the love of Nabob....No...*please* tell me that resopected, fellow
the SCA'ers haven't succumbed to this plague against language everywhere!!!

"Google" IS NOT A VERB!
It is (either) a search website, or a mathematical value (albeit
misspelled).....But it's not a VERB!
(and neither is "office" or "text"!)
