I am now getting a mental picture of Monty Python from Monty Python and the Holy Grail taking on Clint Eastwood. Well, it's time for bed.

Default Verbal vs Oral

I've noticed that people often use the term "verbal" when they mean "oral". Verbal refers to the use of words, whether written or spoken. Oral is more specific in that it refers to spoken words. So, Leon's use of "verbal" was correct, it just did not specify whether it was to be written or spoken.

And now for something completely different:

Monty Python and the Holy Grail - The Killer Bunny

Default not really

while the word verbal might literally mean by the use of words, the term is superfluous when used as it was by Leon. Of course a warning here would be through the use of words, unless he intended that he was sending the offender symbols, gestures, smoke signals, a one-act mime play, etc. Thus, Mirriam-Webster definition #3 for verbal, i.e. "3 : spoken rather than written", applies and was not truly intended by the speaker, making it incorrect, IMHO.

I'm fairly certain Leon had a spanking in mind so verbal was not superfluous.

You had spankings? Our parents didn't even love us enough to give us spankings; we had to lay on our stomachs with our bare bums exposed for days waiting for a beam to fall form the ceiling!

Stop that! Stop that! This has become quite silly! So, in an effort to restore order to this thread, I, the Colonel, must impose some rules. We will have a free association Monty Python auction. To have this auction, we will have a panel of judges:

If for any reason the judges can not meet, we will have to resort to the Marques of Queensbury rules.

So far in this free association auction we have had one ill tempered rabbit, Venezuelan Beaver Cheese and Four Yorkshire Men. I will keep the bidding going with a lumberjack:

Do we have another bid?
