if that happened in a cookie factory it could be a dohredoreo - Jabberwocky, 2008-08-15: 10:39:00

If that happened in the days of "Wild West" it could have taken place on "The Streets Of Laredo" Though I guess Harvey's solution would have been to shot the tax inspector. - OZZIEBOB, 2008-08-15: 18:47:00

Pronunciation: SIS i fuk

Sentence: It was 3am. Somehow, the warning "This Action Cannot Be Undone" failed to penetrate. In one sisyphuc, by clicking "Revert to Saved," John effectively erased half of his thesis.

Etymology: From the myth of Sisyphus, forced eternally to roll the same big rock up the same big hill. Clayton's comment inspired me to alter the word (from sisyphstant) - not sure about the ethics of such a move, but we could consider it etymological evolution?

COMMENTS:

Nice one. Just glad for the ph spelling instead of f. - texmom, 2007-05-18: 07:26:00
