cache cache

au marché d'eaux de vie, je me sens poursuivi, moi je suis un point, voilà un autre, celui qui finit le triangle change. ignorant le troisieme, c'est a dire ignorant le choix de son adversaire, on se rapproche trop. c'est notre sort que tout le monde veut du bubbly et nous, nous sommes membres du club "tout le monde."

oxford english dictionary! i am a great enthusiast of dictionaries if the dictionary contains important information such as etymologies, examples, dates, relative frequencies. i had heard great things of OED so i checked the website and found that i could own the entire bound set at a discounted price of $795. or i could purchase the cd for $250. i also remember that i was on the phone with someone from the university and they said that i wouldn't pay $1561 anymore, but rather $568. $568 pays for things like swimming pools, bus service, free cheap beer and pizza in random locations, and why not the OED? i checked and in fact i have already paid to become part of OED, and it is so joyous.

saint jean d'antioch a écrit ce que je mieux ne répèterai pas. il a tort, mais sa plume est assez belle. delectabile detrimentum me chasse, j'ai toujours l'OED qui compte millier de mots orphelins que je peux chérir

to wit:

[app. f. losen, pa. pple. of LEESE v. (cf. LOREL from the more usual loren, and BROTHEL similarly f. OE. broen, pa. pple. of bréoan to be ruined). The etymological sense is thus `one who is los', `a son of perdition'.]

A. n. A worthless person; a profligate, rake, scoundrel; in weaker sense, a ragamuffin, ne'er-do-well.
