    I'm done whining. Now on to pleasant topics: this weekend is my annual cookie baking weekend. Ymmmmmmm
    22 patients? That's something like 3 per hour.

    Do you still have to wash your hands if you use the rubber gloves?

    Definitely. I just can't examine a patient without washing my hands first even if I put gloves on.

    I knew if I waited long enough that you would identify the lemur on the front page.

    I am glad they named the TV character Zaboo, and called him a lemur. Imagine if they trained a bunch of kids to try to pronounce SIFAKA!

    Shoot! After talking to you the other day, I'm not sure I'm pronouncing sifaka correctly.

    Sounds like a word EarlJam can have some fun with. I haven't noticed him posting lately... Did he get put into timeout again?

    Accent on the second syllable.

    The final "a" is essentially silent. It's also pronounced with a half of an "a" pronounced at the end of the word.

    Of course, if you want to Anglicize it, go ahead and call it a "si-FOK-uh."

    Cheers,

    And the "sports gal" thread had this in it - good topic for LTE?

    Related colloquial vocabulary question: When an event or a person is referred to as "a real pisser", the term has nothing to do with urination or sobriety. But what is not clear to me is whether the state of being a "pisser" is a compliment or a criticism.

    Any linguists out there? Discuss. Include citations.

    I generally associate a positive connotation to the phrase in question. (I can't mention said phrase due to fear of demerits.)

    I don't use the term myself. I have to take my cue from the context of the conversation. Most of the time it's obvious whether commiseration or congratulations are in order. But I have not been able to detect any regional tendencies in the usage.

    OMG!

    Googling for knowledge, I found a song "Sifaka" by the Pyronauts. Is there a way to listen to a song without buying it?
