Language fun (and an advertisement)
Jun. 2nd, 2008 05:25 pmA new English verb: to loo.
Definition: to sing backup on the word "loo," especially in a multi-part choral piece.
Examples of use: "Ooh, we get to loo in this piece!"*
"Wow, we loo really low there."*
"So the altos have the melody while the sopranos loo?"
*Actually said in class, subject to the vagaries of memory.
And the advertisement, as promised:
I've mentioned Alexandra Erin's work here before. I've finally broken my addiction to Tales of MU, but now she's restarted Star Harbor Nights, which I found through ToMU and read through the archives. But some of her other projects are not getting as much attention as they deserve, especially Tribe: Fantasy in Miniature. It's a dark, urban fantasy written entirely in 333-word chapters. The plot is thickly interwoven and really fascinating.
