Abbreviation is a long word because it shares a stem with abbreviated, which has to be long because if it were short it couldn't be abbreviated.

 

[symbolipoint]

The short form is "brief".

OK, let's extend the bracket.

Morning people vs. internet trolls?
Social media oversharers vs. telemarketers?
The "I'm offended crowd" vs. cyclists?

Looks like we need another pairing for a complete bracket. Any suggestions?

Self righteous vegans vs. coffee snobs?

The word tactical has been overused to describe guns, gun accessories, clothing, and clothing accessories. But this, I believe, crosses the line into lame jokes:

Plain ordinary Number 2 Phillips screwdriver bits in a hardware store.

The word tactical has been overused to describe guns, gun accessories, clothing, and clothing accessories. But this, I believe, crosses the line into lame jokes:

'Marine' anything.

"Don't get that dental floss, landlubber. Use marine dental floss. What, are you, new??"
"Ah! OK. Marine dental floss is superior?"
"It's three times the cost."
"And?"
"And what?"

No doubt, the tactical screwdriver bits are "machined from billet"

Tactical screwdriver! This is no drill!

nsaspook,
The video Rockwell Encabulator,
I understood nothing. Man points to various things and explains who-knows-what in very fancy terminology. Maybe that was the point of the "lame joke". Sometimes when I try to explain to a family member about the benefit of registering for some different email service or anything related to such, the family member also understands nothing. I might only guess that some members understood the meaning of the video.

I went directly to YouTube, found the video, and read some of the comments, so I understood what was meant. Much clearer now. The point was that the engineer could not explain anything that "laymen" could understand. I will soon check the wikipedia link.

And now I see! My reaction to that video was exactly the one intended.

I once had an original GE data sheet for the Turboencabulator. Sadly, it got lost long ago.

Also: those seem to be six-bar gates.

"Cowcatchers" used to be common accessories on the front of streetcars, e.g. the ones shown in this post.

Also: those seem to be six-bar gates.

I think it's Babylonian or Mayan counting.

A few years ago, I fished a small plank of wood, maybe 8 inches square, out of the lagoon at our yacht club. Rather than just toss it in the dumpster, I toured our local thrift shops until I came across a Barbie and Ken doll pair for a buck or two each. I bolted the Barbie sitting on the plank and bolted Ken hanging off the edge by his arms, his body in the water. Then I threw the whole thing back into the lagoon for someone else to find.

Then I threw the whole thing back into the lagoon for someone else to find.

Did your experiment answer the oft-debated question: was there, or was there not, enough extra room on the plank to fully accommodate Jack Ken as well?
