Remembering the Dead

It would be like me posting about my dick! It's very personal ...and I'd never, ever, post on an Internet forum that my dick is 12" long and as thick as a woman's forearm. I just wouldn't post such personal stuff.

And it finds its way into your own asshole I'll bet as well! :D

what's wrong with you.:bugeye: I swear, sometimes you have no class and all the self control of a toddler.

Just havin' a little fun, Orleander. You do know what fun is, right? And you also must know that everyone's fun is not the same all over the world, right? And you must also know that you don't get to approve of everyone's idea of fun, right? :D

As to class? No, I don't have any of that. I got rid of it early in life when I realized that it was nothing but a lie that people projected to the public.

So do you. You just didn't read far enough ahead in your own post.;)
From Latin cum, "with" + dolere, "to hurt," i.e., "to share pain."
Good try! The same thought occured to me after I had posted.
You can offer condolences.
But can one experience "condolence" (as the feeler/giver of it, so to speak) as one experiences grief?
My requirement was rather subtle and specific.
You never know what the Finns may have a word for! :)

Bollocks! Yes you would! If you REALLY had a johnson that posed an inflationary threat equalled only by US fiscal policy we should have heard about it a hundred times! Aside from having started several threads on the subject, you would have set up a comparison website (for choppers instead of shoppers). Actually, I suspect you have a rather tiny todger and compensate for it through the persona you project on this website. :D

To be precise, condolences are "expressed." To express something means, precisely, that you feel it, although obviously one of the features of language is the ability to lie. And that's what you're really driving at. When you express "condolences" to someone, are you honestly telling them that you "share their pain," the literal meaning of the word, or are you just being polite like you are when you ask "How are you?" and do not expect a summary of their last doctor's appointment?

In America the typical "expression of condolence" by someone outside the deceased's immediate circle is, "I'm so sorry for your loss." There are a whole lot of things it might mean legitimately.
  • I loved your wife as much as you did or possibly more. But she always spurned me graciously. Since I got this far without you finding out, I'll be damned if I'm gonna tell you about it now. I'll just break down in tears right here and let everyone think I'm just overwhelmed by the grief they will never know we share.
  • Your husband was like a father to me and I will miss him terribly.
  • I barely knew your mother but you are one of my best friends and I truly am sorry that this happened to you and caused you so much grief.
  • We work together and even though you seemed to think your brother was kind of a jerk, I understand that he was still family and you'll miss him, and I'm truly sorry that you're hurting.
  • I barely know you and I have no idea who's in that casket, but everyone on our bowling team is here. In order to fulfill my obligation to behave in a civilized manner I'm trying to help a fellow human being deal with his grief. So I'm telling you a little white lie like half of the other people here today, and I honestly am sorry that one of my bowling mates might be off his game with the big tournament coming up.
  • I don't know who you are and I don't know why my mother brought me. But I don't wanna look like a jerk in front of all of these obviously sad people, so I hope I'm saying the right thing. Maybe when I'm a grownup someone will do the same for me.

Yeah, but it will be too long to fit on one line.;)
