RACK, n. An argumentative implement formerly much used in persuading devotees of a false faith to embrace the living truth. As a call to the unconverted the rack never had any particular efficacy, and is now held in light popular esteem.
2007 Update: That which inspires breakage in a pool hall.
Did you sign up for the Spanish Inquisition last weekend or something?
ReplyDeleteRack: The ticket needed to enter that inner sanctum of maledom, the entertainment room.
ReplyDeleterack- the Michael Flatley form of movement in horses.
ReplyDeleteRack: closely associated with ruin.
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna rack up some travel time looking at some off-the-rack clothes today.
The Central Snark staff will surely give you a different take on nice racks I'm sure.
rack - A crude, sexist, idiomatic term referring to the breastal area of the female anatomy.
ReplyDeleteThere, that should take some of the mystique out of it.
Sorry, I couldn't help myself.
Rack: (1) Place to store spices, (2) A spice of life.
ReplyDeleteOP already took the "mystique" out, so it was free to use.
ReplyDeleteRack: see "Dolly Parton."
ReplyDeleteOY! Breasts was what I was going to talk about too! Dang!
ReplyDeleteRACK, n.
ReplyDelete1. A device for selling trombones in River City.
2. An object capable of transforming a peaceable PETA member into an arsonist.
3. A reason, about the only one, to count moose.
Oui, monsieur. I am Gagnon, world champeen moose callair.
When I am twelve, the Gouverneur of the State of Maine, he ask me to make a moose count for him.
I climb up Mt. Katahdin, to the highest peak in the state, and I let out my moose hollair. As soon as it bounce off Cadillac Montagne, and make echo off Mars Hill, everywhere there is a cloud of dust. I have to climb rock so I don't get stomped to death!
But, from this perch I count 342,698 moose, 5 Alaska caribou, and a dog with Hawaiian license tag.
I buy my clothes off the RACK.
ReplyDeleteAs of yet, I don't have a personal tailor.
When Taylor becomes a big rock star, I shall have all my clothing custom made.
Yes, I have some extra flowers:

A few years ago someone said to me "Nice rack."
ReplyDeleteSadly it was about the spice rack we were both looking at.
Typical.
A Rack: Where we are currently fighting a "war."
ReplyDeleteRack: mental sieve.
ReplyDeleteyes... you CAN spell it this way, too. trust me, i checked. ; )
Rack: Nordstrom has one in Towson, I put my snowboard, surfboard and my wine on one, and my pinion can't work without it.
ReplyDeleteQuite a useful word for a Monday.
"Nice rack" is all that comes to mind.
ReplyDeletei keep coming back to the end of a song:
ReplyDelete...rack 'em up, stack 'em up, anyway you ca-a-an.
not sure why, but i think it has something to do with cheerleading... or was it drinking? ; )
Like the omnipotent poohpah, I went straight to the anatomical, but I enjoyed reconsidering it in light of Bierce's definition and my sexual orientation. I have to say, the breast has always been a friend of mine, and though it might _tempt_ me to turn from my wicked gay ways, it has certainly never _tortured_ me this.
ReplyDeleteDannyboy, we all are slaves here looking for gods to serve. :-P
ReplyDeleteAccording to the dictionary rack has so many meanings, I don't even know what you talk about, guys.
No, Minka, that would be just what everyone expects.
ReplyDeleteBrian, I usually settle for chips.
Minka, that was well-described and kinda funny.
TLP, I never doubted. I hope you found something in blue.
Poobah, you have just described mystique's most fertile field, but thank you for trying.
Sure, Morgan. No demerits.
Every time I close my eyes, Al.
Go on then, Mutha.
Hahaha, Amoeba.
That was nice, Jamie Dawn. I wish you Taylor's tailor and no green truffles in the dressing room.
Jenn, then just stay over by the spice rack.
Nessa, I wondered what we were fighting there.
Neva, like I've got brains enough left to notice.
Actonbell, in California they're coming now.
True, Cooper, but I doubt you drive a car with rack & pinion steering so you're safe.
Most of the time, AP3, that's true.
Neva, the difference is so small.
Dannyboy, as long as I might live on God's Earth, you will be associated with the adjectives "delicate, cuplike"
Ariel, I'm pretty sure there's a Magyarul equivalent.
