True, Rockgolf, I don't speak to my mother (who just turned 90 last month) with those words, but hardly because they're incomprehensible to her.
I know you chose the most widely-spoken, common, popular, (some might say, vulgar) 16-letter words for your quiz, the kind that are bandied about every day in the coarse, rough banter of the poolrooms, dives, bordellos, lumberyards, locker-rooms, barracks and precinct-houses of this country, rather than in the rarefied, elevated and edifying discourse of a polite drawing-room, academic seminar or ecclesiastical retreat.
But although my mother came from a family of amateur lexicographers, majored in French at the University of London, and was married to an Ivy League professor when she earned a law degree several decades later, she'd hardly be flummoxed by the bawdy sesquipedalianisms you broadcast so indiscriminately to an audience of millions with such blithe disregard to the impressionability of youth, the modesty of the fairer sex or the respect due to age. For my mother has also served in the wartime British army (A.T.S.) and practiced in the juvenile court systems of New England. ;-) |
