Two of my friends in high school one English lesson listed "alternate" definitions for assorted linguistic terms. I can't find the piece of paper for the life of me, so I shall have to email her.
I do remember "preposition" having the alternate meaning of "foreplay" (think carefully about it...) and "syntax" being "child support".
Very pretty indeed. When I was looking for a job, on one of my interviws I said something about "intercourse" with customers. Even now, half a year after that, my friends whom I told about this still laugh. You can't really rely on dictionnaries, people would always find a way to pervert everything...
I was referring to allova's "alternate" definitions in whole and the particular examples she gave, because it's usually very interesting and funny how people can find new meanings for the words, I know some stuff like that in Russian, though in English it's usually difficult for me to understand some things. It's just lots of fun. I purposely put the comment as reply to allova's post to indicate where it belongs. Sorry if made some confusion *blush and confused*
