Dumbledore - oh my goodness gracious me!

root must mean something different in my lingo.

Oh dear. Yes, I have heard "root" in the sense of "rut"; but "to root for [someone]" means to cheer on [a favorite team, or player]. Kris Draper is not one of the spectacular players, but a consistent guy who's been plugging away for years, and that's why he's a fave. No, he's not very pretty, either, LOL, few hockey players are!

Hmmm, maybe I do have a suggestion for the next time you want to change avatars...
 
Oh yeah...;"root", meanings for same....

Howz about a limerick ?

There once was a man named Chanute,
Who had three warts on his root,
He poured acid on these,
And now when he p**s,
He fingers his root like a flute.

Sorry to lower the level, but we were talking about a dirty old man wizard at a boarding school, and it is Halloween.
Sometimes the poet in me just screams to get out since nobody seems too keen on the pseudo haiku thread anymore.

BOOOO !

root.......how about a root(aussie pick up line, seldom works)
root.......I am rooTED(EXHAUSTED)
rooting for you.......(see first line now vision person saying,"this ones for you....."

Maybe its just an insight into my mind......... I need to go lie down.

HI Grey

Don't Americans say 'root for' to mean support a team?

They do, and at the seventh inning stretch it is customary at a baseball game for the entire stadium to stand up and sing "Take me out to the ball game" Now I wonder what the Aussies would be thinkin if they sang it 2/3 the way through a cricket or rugby match?

"Take me out to the ball game,
Take me out with the crowd.
Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack,
I don't care if I never get back,
Let me root, root, root for the home team,
If they don't win it's a shame.
For it's one, two, three strikes, you're out,
At the old ball game."

Nelly Kelly was sure some fan,
She would root just like any man,
Told the umpire he was wrong,
All along, good and strong.
When the score was just two to two,
Nelly Kelly knew what to do,
Just to cheer up the boys she knew,
She made the game sing this song.
 
it really makes you wonder. I have no idea who Nelly Kelly is or was but if you take our meaning into that little ditty, shes rather a "loose woman". haha (my apologises to the Kelly family) Actually the entire song sang with my translation is quite hysterical. I'll have to copy it . root root root, (fantastic) Lol Love The Grey
