OT To the woman who objected to my not liking the word WAR

Iran objects to stop developing the Atom, and promises the world that if any sanctions will be made against them , they will shoot rockets to my country, not to yours. In the first Gulf War , the coalition fought Iraq, and we got the Rockets, not yours. And you call me sanctimonious, i am just realistic and really really hate war. I also believe that a big part of Misunderstanding between Cultures starts and begins with differences in understanding words, terminologies. If i have one great inheritance from My Grandfathers , it is listen to what people say , and act accordingly. You want to hide , hide!, everyday Terror plots are found [luckily] and stopped in Many Countries ,, This a sad world, where Bullies get their will by bullying terrorizing , Those who close their eyes and are afraid to look at it , or think it happenes only to others, help the bullies. mirjam

And all this because "war" is such an innocent sounding word! Much like "murder", "cheating" or "rape"! Of course we should all love those words, their rich significance in low human behaviour! Sofia D

My dear Mirjam, sometimes you are too nice and good-hearted for your own good! It takes years of practice to achieve this degree of cynicism :-)))) Sofia D

Moxxie, or moxy or moxxy is: sort of like ..... outspoken, but in a *GOOD* way! (sort of like when we say it took 'balls' to say that) Its a GOOD thing as Martha Stewart would say, and SHE has MOXXIE! LOL! Hugs, Noreen

X-No-Archive:yes

"Guts" comes close, but it is more the attitude with which you speak, including body language which defines 'moxie'. Old time US movie stars like Katherine Hepburn and Barbara Stanwyck often played roles of women with 'moxie'. Joan

It's usually spelled "moxie".

has somegood information. The first meaning is "The ability to face difficulty withspirit and courage." so I think it is a good word to describe Mirjam.
