Ah, but they neglect to mention the variant first popularized by Berkeley Breathed in his "Bloom County" comic strip (ca. 1983--1989): The use of "Bleah" and "Blech" with similar meanings. See also "Pbbbbttt" with similar meaning(*), but usually accompanied by a physical gesture (sticking out one's tongue at the "yucky" person or object). --Chuck (*) "Pbbbbttt" is also used as an expression of glee, esp. in reaction to the discovery of proof that the person was right about a contentious issue, and directing this expression toward the opposing, incorrect party. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
