Comment: Word meanings

Legg inn av Gjest » 23 okt 2004 18:48:26

Personally, I welcome the discussion
of word-meanings. Latin terms in source
documents seem quite pertinent to the purpose
of this list, as long as the discussion doesn't
sink into personal vituperation; and are very
helpful to those of us with no Latin.

Word-meanings, Latin or otherwise, can
often be keys to understanding the essence.
Here are a couple words I've been curious about
lately, and their meanings.


pogue derogatory military slang used to
describe rear-echelon troops

midden an accumulation of dung or refuse


Best regards, Steve
