St. James's Comments

I think verbing is cool. It can be a colorful and creative way of using the language, provided you don't go overboard.

It reminds me of when my kids were little, and giving each of the vulcan neck pinch from star trek was known as "spocking" each other.

I knew there would be a lot of Iron Maiden on this list. A few years ago I was flipping the TV channels and stopped for a moment on the classic movie channel after noticing a very young Cling Eastwood as well as Richard Burton. They were paratroopers and just landed on a snow capped mountain and were looking at climbing the cable car cables to get to the fortress. I thought to myself, huh - that sounds just like the lyrics to the song "Where Eagles Dare". After a few commercials, the last announcement said "now back to our feature, "Where Eagles Dare". That just blew me away. I don't know if the movie was based on any literature, so the song probably doesn't belong on the list. I just thought it was pretty cool though.

While consider myself to be a "protector", I don't expect all men to take this same stance. As was mentioned earlier, these guys at best did the sheer minimum to assist this lady - of course they could have done more. I can't see condemning them though without having all of the facts. Personally the first thing I would think of is "what if that was my mother/daughter/sister, etc." and would do everything in my power to assist.
