One must have run out of witty remarks or insults so resorted to making up a word- calling the other 'jumentous'. When apprehended by the insulted as to the meaning of the word, the former must have looked around frantically and, seeing a horse urinating, decided it meant 'to resemble horse urine' and that was that... I'm still wondering when 'jumentous' could ever be used practically and not just as an insult. <br /><br />-C.BAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2629301231907528990.post-73895297702862627672012-03-31T06:42:22.980+01:002012-03-31T06:42:22.980+01:00I will definately incorporate this word down my lo...I will definately incorporate this word down my local pub at the weekend - the only problem will be which of the beers to ascribe it to...<br /><br />Laurie -StourbridgeRantBoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13425410359312882937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2629301231907528990.post-85472404810583531312012-03-30T23:08:41.446+01:002012-03-30T23:08:41.446+01:00isn't "jument" from the french for &...isn't "jument" from the french for "mare"?

LoL :-) <br />Personally, I find the weekend challenge a triviality. Anyone can mix-up in “La Curva Nord”in Turin,Italy and shout “FORZA JUMENTUS!!” No one will notice the slight difference among such happiness…<br />By the way Mark, is it Jumentus (like Juventus / You Ventus) or like Juan Carlos of Spain?<br />(I suppose “July” is out of the question).<br />Thanks in advance for your answer, and keep up the inspiriting and educational (always salted with your great sense of humor) work.New Kid on the Blocknoreply@blogger.com
