Actually, cougr ... I think I was on the wrong track, I just saw the definition explained elsewhere (and I'd like to admit when I'm wrong): "Ultimately, I argue this laughter was what Stephen Halliwell calls “consequential” – that is, it had the consequence of bringing pain, shame, or harm on...

cougr ... Regardless of how the laughter is intended (to come across), ultimately it is always going to be about how it is subjectively received and perceived. Moreover, in the example given of Conon who is being prosecuted for assault, the expectation or prediction was that he (Conon) would...

... κωμικό στήσιμο (4th last line).

το non-consequential laughter είναι το "μη επακόλουθο γέλιο"; και το consequential laughter το "επακόλουθο γέλιο"; Το μη επακόλουθο γέλιο αναφέρεται στα προφανή και "άμεσα" αστεία. πχ, αστεία περι σωματικά ελαττώματα. Υπάρχει μια άμεση κατανόηση χωρίς εκπλήξεις Ενώ το επακόλουθο γέλιο είναι το...

το αλλαξα ...:confused:

(I meant the person who's laughing might have a hidden motive, ill intent .... they might be mocking you, etc.., i.e., there is or there might be more to that laughter than is immediately apparent)

Δεν θέλω να το υπεραναλύσω .... αλλά το "consequential laughter" = το γέλιο που έχει "επακόλουθες συνέπειες", δεν με κάθεται καθόλου καλά. το "non-consequential" εδώ = trivial, something that is lightweight, something that is superficial and therefore can be taken at face value - you don't...

ρυτίδες; ;-) strange phrase consequential laughter ... η φράση κανονικά θα έπρεπε να σημαίνει ότι το ιδιο το γέλιο επακολουθεί ως συνέπεια. (a phrase like "inappropriate laughter" "appropriate laughter" or similar you could make immediate sense of or let's say "laughter with...

μη προσβλητικό, μη δηκτικό;

The pizzle as a "weapon of choice" brought this video to mind - and Christopher Walken dancing.

Man beaten with bull’s penis Cayman News | 13/10/2010 (CNS): Police have confirmed this evening that they are investigating a report regarding an assault on a man which took place in Bodden Town Road last night at around 6.40pm. CNS understands from unconfirmed reports that the male assailant...

woke (adj.) Today at 8:03 PM Zazula Wow. Talk about sleeping in. :-) (sorry, I couldn't help it).

("line honours" is probably only used in yachting ... note to self).

It'd make for an exciting finish, cougr , in the case of the handicap taking the form of a delayed start. The handicap winner would also be the rower who takes "line honours."

So you could finish last in the race, say 200 metres behind the winner (and much younger opponent), but by doing 5 seconds better than the age-dependent handicap you've been assigned, this could place you first in the handicap race. So, whereas "line honours" goes to the rower who crosses the...

It's counterintuitive and confusing ... Because it's a handicap race, "handicap" has come to be used here as a rating. The higher your "handicap" (in seconds), the slower you are at rowing. Similarly, in golf, the higher your handicap, the lower your ranking. This" handicap" is in fact a "time...

I just received this from a Chinese friend (and somewhat of an authority) ... "The earliest references to the visible planets was "wu xing," lit. “five stars” or better “five asters,” since anything in the heavens was called a “star” regardless of whether it moved or not, including comets and...

Following on from my above post ... This video helps illustrate the "retrograde motion" of Mars and why/how outer (or superior to earth) planets seem to wander from our perspective - hence πλανήτης (=wanderer)? "This phenomenon is known as retrograde motion, and it's why planets originally got...

While we're searching for the answer, we should also perhaps look at the word "pacer" and how it might apply to planetary motion (assuming for a moment that it does). (This is just guesswork as usual, of course, and just exploring the possibilities ... I'm more about questions than answers)...
