The Ultimate Ot Question: How Big Is Your Dic

Recommended Posts

Yes, here's the one you've all been thinking about but never had the courage to post: How Big Is Your Dictionary?!

We've had 'What Kind of Car Do You Drive'? 'Where Did You Go To School'? 'How Tall Are You'? 'How Much Do You Make?', etc., but up until now no one's ever had the guts to ask this one...

Do you have the courage to reply?

I'll start: I've got a Harrap's French-English Dictionary that's hardbound and pretty big.

So yeah, I've definitely got a big dictionary. :1a:

On the other hand, I can't say that I use it much.... :blush:

Honi Soit Qui Mal Y Pense! :Jumpy:

Mine's is a Penguin and is an inch and a half thick and stands seven and three quarter inches tall.

Admire.....

So it would not be incorrect to say that you have a Penguin dic?

Would saying this to someone in a Glasgow pub on Friday night ('Hey, Penguin dic!') be liable to create interpersonal problems for myself?

So much to learn, so little time....

I win! I win! I have the biggest dic!!

I have The Tome of Knowledge. It is a manly 11" by 14" and EIGHT INCHES thick. We use it at work to name our new servers.

Let's see if anyone can guess the criteria by which we name? The most recent servers are:

Alan

Blaise

Charles

(skipped)

Euclid

Frigyes

Galileo

Hypatia

Ignatz

Jonne

Karl

Anyone??

You name your servers like they name hurricanes or tropical storms. :)

"Hey penguin dic!"............not good.

"Hey king penguin dic!"......worse.

"Hey emperor penguin dic!".........your dead.

But hang on, is that a Biographical Dictionary? Isn't that just a dic extension?! :g:

C-Stone, are you talking about 'Dictionary Enlargers'? I can't tell you how much spam I get about that. Makes you think that there must be a lot of guys out there who aren't happy with the size of their dictionary.....
