New Word of the Day

Hi Tundra_10...

Following please find a: "Baconization" of your 01.25.2012 "new word of the day".


Some actresses believe they're a deb.
They shudder to socialize with a pleb.
Why would they look down at some with scorn,
Without a "face-beater"... What shall they adorn?
To shamefully hide a neb with a bleb!



Regretfully yours,

Bob
 
^^FUNX725, that was awesome! ha! Very creative and original, as always!
 
Hi Tundra_10...

A contribution to your: 01.26.2012 "new word of the day".


Prolocutor.

At a recent Awards Ceremony: http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum...e-detail-person-year-award-mike-phillips.html...it was clearly shown to be yet another confirmation that the title given to "Ol' Blue Eyes"...Chairman of the Board...is also concedable for Mr. Mike Phillips...The prolocutor of the Detailing World.

What sweet "music" they both have played!!!

Prolocutor.

^^ I like! I am a little late in my contribution today. I guess I was a little more tired then I thought! ha! Off to find my word of the day...
 
The New Word of the Day: 1/26/12

Parsimonious (pahr-suh-moh-nee-uh s)

Definition: penny-pinching

Source: Thesaurus.com

The parsimonious detailer is in quiet the catch 22 when conducting business. On one hand he wants to maximize profits so he ensures he buys the most affordable and economic products, however he has to weigh out the additional time and effort these more affordable products may consume to provide similar results.
 
A hasty detailers technique looks very ferocious
Its hard to fault them as they are trying to be expeditious
With their hearts and minds in goal of being great one day
The thoughts and dreams of making such a great pay
They learn from others to maximize profits they must be parsimonious

^^^^An excellent limerick!!^^^^

Let me see if I can incorporate this into Mr. Bacon's limerick scheme...

^^FUNX725, your limerick was very cool that was posted on Senior Bacon's thread. Definitely another exemplary example of your literary intuitiveness!

Diaphanous (dahy-af-uh-nuh s)

Definition: fine, see-through

Source: Thesaurus.com

When a compound or polish has "flashed" it has a diaphanous appearance, that is when you know its time to grab a soft non-marring cloth to wipe the residue away to reveal your progress.

^^Great description of an important step in the "detailing process"^^:props:

Caducity.

-Once I am satisfied that my polishing step(s) have met my expectations, it is now time for selecting an LSP (sacrificial barrier/renewable resource). This LSP-selection-step in the detailing process is rife with contention, and sometimes results in what's fondly referred to as "WAX WARS".

-One of the battles, as I see it, of the "WAX WAR" is related to the durability issue...That is, from what I've garnered: What is the longevity of LSP's A versus B, or C? Will it endure a few weeks, a few months, or longer? In other words...What is the caducity of any given LSP?

-To determine exactly how caducous one(1) LSP itself may be, let alone trying to conduct side-by-side testing with other LSP's, is a difficult metric to actually measure, "prove" so to speak.

-Scientific (lab) testing, along with what's: "In the eye of the beholder" (empirical testing)...has it's fallacies; and, Mike Phillips has so many times stated: "Find something you like and use it often".
-I'll 'stretch' the word: often...in the above dictum to this point that I previously mentioned (and after all):

-LSP's are sacrificial barriers and must be renewed.
The time-table for such renewals may never be officially resolved. Individual 'tastes' seems to be a variable of this equation that is ever-changing.
-And, as such...The hurtling of: LSP-Lab-result-missiles...may never put a chink in ones: Personal-Preference-Armor!!


Caducity.


Once again:
I apologize for the protracted post...I tend to ramble a little bit.

Thank you for the posting, as always its appreciated and welcomed!
 
New Word of the Day: 1/28/12

Pertinacious (pur-tn-ey-shuh's)

Definition:
1. holding tenaciously to a purpose, course of action, or opinion; resolute.
2. stubborn or obstinate.
3. extremely or objectionably persistent: a pertinacious salesman from whom I could not escape.

Contaminants such as rail deposit are very pertinacious debris to remove. Using a clay bar is effective however specific products such as Iron-X is much more efficient in removal.

Even after informing your clients on how to perform a proper: "Grit-guarded, two-bucket, maintenance-wash", when they arrive for their scheduled appointments, you realize they were pertinacious, in their mind-set, to not do so.

New Word of the Day: 1/29/12

Deliquesce (del i kwes)

Definition:
1.to become liquid by absorbing moisture from the air, as certain salts.
2.to melt away.
3.Botany . to form many small divisions or branches.

Source: Thesaurus.com

Finish Kare makes a wax that claims it is "high temperature resistant", thus eluding that under direct sunlight or warm temperatures the product will not deliquesce or dilapidate. If you are curious of the one I am talking about, it has a picture of a shark on the tin can and costs about $18.

^^^Nice claim by FinishKare.^^^

Glad you brought it up!


But isn't the deliquescence, or, perhaps the fracture point of an LSP, dependent upon whether it has been formulated to be considered as a: Carnuba (or other organic) wax; synthetic (polymer) sealant; an "hybrid"; or even a 'coating'? Even petro-chemicals have an evaporation-temperature point. Just think how "hot" vehicles' panels will become on a warm sunny day...I don't even want to have to touch a 'hood-panel' under those circumstances!!!

To say that an LSP product will not deliquesce, IMO, is a bit of a stretch. If it were said that a particular LSP will withstand a higher temperature before it reaches its melting point, then, that would be more of an acceptable description for me.

That's not to say this FinishKare product will not withstand "higher temperatures"...Be helpful to know what temperatures they may be alluding to, though.

That just may be me. Others viewpoints may differ.

:)

Bob
 
^^ Good point! Per the AG website it has a melting point of over 250 degrees. Not sure how hot a hood will get but I am guessing not that hot. Again as you said its just a "claim" and I would be curious to see an actual test on that!

Neoterism (nee-OT-uh-riz-uhm)

Definition:
1. An innovation in language, as a new word, term, or expression
2. The use of new words, terms, or expressions

Source: Thesaurus.com

Tundra_10 is trying the use of neoterism to expand peoples vocabulary and help them to be able to drop the occasional "cool word" at the next social function they attend.

Though I do my best to make these new words pertain to detailing aspects, neoteristic habits will help anyone in any profession or verbal situation. Just make sure you do not use "um" when thinking of the correct word!

Maybe It's a good thing I had children/grandchildren around to assist me with learning a few "computer skills" when I became alarmed with the seemingly ease that hackers could communicate with each other, worldwide, to invade/hack computer systems.

They informed me that there was a "language" the early hackers invented that they called: l33tsp33k...They thought this neoterism would make them "cool". For awhile, it also worked quite well for them in their hacking quests.

But...Since I've always believed in the... Right to Privacy...
I still call it:
Bastardization of the English language and the Arabic numeral system in order for some to be as: "A thief in the night"

So glad it's almost a 'dead language' nowadays!
