this is a COOL NEW word, gotta love it! =0)

zaftig (ZAF-tik, -tig)

adjective

Full-figured, pleasingly plump, buxom.

[From Yiddish zaftik (juicy), from Middle High German
(saftec), from saft (juice),
from Old High German saf (sap).]

Cool, though i prefer the term "rubanesque" (sp) to
describe the pleasantly plump girls.

Voluptuous is also the word I like for the girls with some
junk in their trunk. Marilyn Monroe-ish beauties that aren't
skeletal, mrrrow.

''volumptuos''- *points and laughs at hilariously awful
spelling. ;-)

Related to zaftig (in a way), a Spanish term for skinny is
"seca" (sp), it means dry. The Latino guy who told me used
the analogy if a withered plant.

finnish is so nice, filled with vowels...

i don't understand why most of the finns dislike the
language.. it is allthough generally quite a difficult
language so far from english or swedish or anything.

great knowing you too, lecouer :)

woah.....interesting poet....and i have heard of sapphic
meter!!

Her style was sensual and melodic; primarily songs of love,
yearning, and reflection. Most commonly the target of her
affections was female, often one of the many women sent to
her for education in the arts.

*hot for teacher* =0)

'inexorably' :D exquisite is a very under-used word *sniff*
