One could also see the entry for OEDILF.

You two are too much alike. It's scary. ;-)

Missed that one, reesetee. Sometimes the comments are so numerous that they just get away from me.

Hurray for chained_bear, though. You've got to go for the ILF pun...

Skipvia and John, you must have short memories--or you missed a good comment thread. See aberdevine. :-)

Gangerh, thanks for the info--good of you to give credit where it's due. Haven't been to the OEDILF site in a while.

Chris Doyle is also a regular loser on the Style Invitational, the Washington Post's weekly humor contest that has a vendetta against me personally not that I'm bitter.

Chris Doyle was the Grand Prize Winner of OMNI magazine's Competition #44 Fractured Definitions (for words beginning with the letters P,Q,R,and S). He won a Franklin Computer Spelling Ace and $250! He is from Burke, VA. It was sometime in the '80s. OMNI was a wonderful magazine published by Bob Guccione (of Penthouse fame) which is no longer, sadly. I felt I ought to credit my sources.
I have posted all four of his entry under the list 'fractured definitions' and am opening this list up for anyone to submit to.

I wonder what they say about us?

I'll avoid the obvious (but very tempting) pun on ILF...

Wow, thanks seanahan--I'd never heard of the OEDILF. A bunch of people who write weird bits of language to each other all day? What oddballs!

He posts on several forums I am/was a member of, if that is the Chris Doyle being referred to.

Gangerh, who is this Chris Doyle person--and why hasn't he/she been dragged kicking and screaming onto Wordie? ;-)
