I call my wife a wench sometimes...purely out of love you understand.

Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind.

When was Sophisticated a negative term (except when said with attitude by the unlucky lower classes, I mean)? I must have missed that.

Does what make sense - that it was taken out of the dictionary ? Well, I guess as it's not a word it shouldn't have been in the dictionary in the first place, so it makes sense to me that it would be removed.

I just checked my OED and it's not in that, mind you, my copy was printed in 1986 eek. Time to buy a new one, methinks. biggrin

Yeah, it was taken out. I'm looking at it now in the Third New Intl Dictionary by Webster, it has the distinguish of "nonstandard" next to it. It's no longer in it.
