AARP PSA: SHERO nonsense

[CochiseCowbell]

There already exists a female version of the word HERO: HEROINE.

"You ignorant wretch."

Rant over. Get off my lawn.

 

[tatedog]

Yeah, but heroine sounds too much like a drug.

 

[CochiseCowbell]

No one can protect the ignorant from themselves or homophones.

 

[Hump4Hoops]

Homonym, not homophone.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

 

[CochiseCowbell]

A homophone is a homnym. But a homonym isn't necessarily a homophone.

Square/Rectangle thing.

We can all agree that Hominy is disgusting. But, if it will liven up our bats let's ship some to DNF.

My uncle used to swear by Hominy for bedding bream. Said they couldn’t resist it. Flyrod was his tackle of choice.

That is one thing I do miss doing in Mississippi. I remember one long shoreline we found with so many bream beds it looked like a honey comb. I'll have to try the hominy next time. Fly rods and crickets on the walls at Pickwick would let you fill one live well with fat bluegill and the other well with catfish. Try a 4-5 lbs channel cat on a fly rod.

Never had a cat that big, but one time I was throwing wet flies on one of those honeycombs at Chotard. I hooked a baby bream that was hanging around the beds and about 10 feet from the boat a 5 pound bass decided to have lunch. He engulfed the bream right on the surface and I had a good 3 minute fight before he spit it right at the boat. It was fun but disappointing. I didn’t realize the difference in rod weights until I caught a 4/5 pound stingray at Bahia Honda after the Orange Bowl in 14. That 5 pound bass felt like 100 pounds compared to that stingray on a 9 wt Rod.
