Like It Is Dep't

It's interesting how words come from culture. We say the Inuit have 40 words for snow, but here are 284 snow words in Inuktitut. About half of them have to do with houses made of snow, and all the things that go wrong with them.  My favourites:

• Gets snow in eye and is hurt by it: ijaruajuq
• he makes the snow squeak once underfoot: qiqirrituq
• hole made by a jet of urine in the snow: quqtaq
• does gymnastics in a snow house: ujautaqpuq  (Carefully, one imagines)

And of course, caribou words:

• caribou gives forth its bovine cry: qakakpuq
• caribou snot: taliut
• he imitates a caribou: tuttujaqpuq  (this one could come in handy, given my recent work...)

DtownG, stop adding the word proactive under Mama's description

No, because if you watched the show you'd know that the term proactive describes the Thelma character. Unless you can come up with a valid reason why it SHOULDN'T be there, stop editing it out. — DtownG 23:17, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

While I think proactive is a unique word, it has no bearing on the mama's family character. What really should be going on here is you giving reasons to support why you believe it should stay on the page and not be removed. Because frankly, my valid reason is that mama didn't act this way constantly thusly you cannot label her as proactive. She was constantly preparing beforehand to prevent thing from happening. That doesn't make sense. What show are you thinking of? Thelma Harper is a woman known for her sarcastic remarks and quick comebacks.

I'm really not interested in getting into a long conversation about this, but really I'd have to ask you what show you were watching to not see that Mama was *always* pro-active. For example: When she was mugged, she took self defense classes and later beat her attacker...when a shady car salesmen tried to rip her old, she settled the score...when Vint was accused of being the courteous crook, she sought to clear his name...when the family was being conned by the phony channeler, she exposed her.

Internet, I thought you should know.
