It's in the lyrics to "Maria" from the Sound of Music:-

"How do you solve a problem like Maria?
How do you catch a cloud and pin it down?
How do you find a word that means Maria?
A flibbertijibbet! A will-o'-the wisp! A clown!"

It's life Jim, but not as WE know it.
Live long and prosper.

Harry...talking to my granddaughter today, I was telling her about this thread and I asked her if she had any favourite words. She said 'No Nan..I haven't.. but I do have a word I don't like. Whenever someone says this word, it makes me cringe...I can't even say it, but I can write it for you. I said 'OK then...go on!' So she did...and the word is..

'MOIST'

I laughed my socks off...I just don't get it!!
