I started to post the definition but I figured I would be trying to usurp Walter's job and responsibilities. I am going to organize my community to airdrop some dictionaries into Missouri.

Oh Ted, Don't get all knotted up. I say lots of nice things all the time, just watch. "Hey Ted, that's a nice buck in that picture on your avatar!" See? I won't take it personally that you don't like Jr.s. It's just a name my dad gave me. I really did have the definition all posted up and everything but then I thought you were just posting to ask Walter a silly question. Ole DIYASUB is just sitting back there in the hills reading his dictionary and waiting for a chance to show off. Don't get all mad over the internet.

Wow Ted! You have me at a disadvantage. Do we know each other from somewhere? I hope I didn't disturb your little dream too much by "popping up" in your thread. I'll try to be more sensitive in what I type on your threads.

"Cape" is also a derivative of the word "Capon". Possibly Ted had an experience that makes him very sensitive ! | |||

Capon would be a diminuitive: From the French -- Jupe = dress, Jupon = slip Jamb = leg, Jambon = ham A capon is a rooster whose reproductive organs were removed at a young age. Typically, the castration is performed when the chicken is between 6 and 20 weeks old. The benefits are a non-aggressive male that can serve as a father for baby chicks. They also produce ample, tender meat when butchered and as such are a choice poultry meat in some locales. Due to the high fat content, they are self-basting. The caponisation of poultry is banned in the United Kingdom on animal welfare grounds, though the meat itself is not illegal. | |||

It always seemed to me to be more of a problem than it was worth. The process is a bit more involved than it is with other livestock which have the "organs" on the outside. I'm surprised it is not allowed in the UK. DIYASUB, I know you didn't get that definition out of your "Mountain Edition" dictionary.

Hell no! While you were foolin' around tryin' to look it up in some big old edition by Funk and Wagnals I just looked it up in my "Texas Dictionary". Things are easier and quicker to find when ya only gotta go through twenty pages!  | |||

I was amused to find the definitions for both highway and road conjoined on the same page in the Texas Dictionary. "Paved-Unpaved"   | |||

OK, so why do we drive on a "parkway" and park on a "driveway" ??? If you're sitting in bumper-to-bumper is it still an "expressway" ??? | |||
