CUR, n. A mongrel with a grudge. CURRY: bad-tempered in the manner of a cur; an alleged food item, snarly in the mouth and in the belly. CURRY FAVOR: to seek advancement among humans with the delicacy and sensitivity of a pit bull in the ring.

Now I know why Thom's asking me how to spell "Chihuahua"... but it's too early in the morning for me to come up with a thing of my own!

Cur: The growl I make before I've had my first cup of coffee in the morning.

CUR,n. The ANNOYANCE that shoots out of my nose after I read about Nessa's "growl".

Sweet!

Curs make the best of friends. We must forgive them for having skeletons in their closets.
Most of the hippy kids when I was in college had a yellow cur left on the steps waiting while the owners were inside in class.

Very interesting link, Actonbell. And a nice link back to Terry's beginning.

Well, thanks to that Acton, first I discurred trying to seeing what’s up with this simple little word. Then I decided to excur and really dig deep. And while percurring and transcurring I decided that curs do all these things: run about, go beyond, pass through, and run across and over. So I’ve been a cur this afternoon. Took me longer than the average dog would take.

As do Willie and Walela, Terry.

Well Bierced, Amoeba.

Thom, that sounds about right. Those who bark loudest.

Funny, Susan. I fear you'll spend your whole week spelling.

Not to fear, Karma. I run slow.

Speaking of which, Nessa.

Karen, I have to give you the edge as a growler.

Jim, the yellow dogs are the loyal one.

Actonbell, we canines are a little sensitive about that.

Yup, Nessa.

Welcome, anonymous.

TLP, the average dog never gets off the porch.

Recipes now, Bear? Is your sagacity limitless?

Thanks, Coop.

I hear ya, Karen.
