    boards.straightdope.com/t/persona-non-gratis-sic/382494

    Persona non gratis would mean don’t let him in free, I think. Giles December 1, 2006, 6:03pm 3. On my limited knowledge of Latin, “grata” is an adjective modifying “persona”, so they have to match. So “grata” is the feminine form of “gratus”, meaning welcome. The English word “gratis” comes from Latin, too, but it’s a ...

    Then he got seriously injured on the set of the movie City Heat and didn’t turn up again for two years, where he was instantly persona non grata with the fans. As I was born a bit too young… He was the hottest shit ever.

  4. What is Alina Habba's deep game? - Straight Dope

    boards.straightdope.com/t/what-is-alina-habbas-deep-game/995829

    What is the deal with Alina Habba? She reminds one of a Fox news host. On the surface, she appears to be utterly incompetent as an attorney; (in)famously doing things like neglecting to request a jury trial for Trump’s New York civil fraud case, and if a tithe of the allegations against her are true, she appears not to have a shred of integrity. Yet she’s managed to get into Trump’s ...

  6. Proposed SDMB Splinter League - any interest? - Straight Dope

    boards.straightdope.com/t/fantasy-football-proposed-sdmb-splinter-league-any...

    So, the SDMB Big League, run by SenorBeef, is changing to an auction draft this year, and there are one or two people who don’t like the idea. I thought that, to accommodate those people, and to give other folks a chance to play some FF, it might be worth trying to set up a new league with the same settings as last year’s Big League. That would mean a regular snake draft rather than an ...

  7. how old were you the first time you saw adult genitalia?

    boards.straightdope.com/t/how-old-were-you-the-first-time-you-saw-adult...

    The mom freaked in a very big way and I was persona non-grata in the house after that. As far as seeing adult genetilia I had accidentally bumped into my parents a few weeks prior to the episode with the girl which was where I got the idea.

    Frankly, any country would react badly. If one government bars another’s representative that is taken as slight against the latter country. For example, if you barring (i.e. persona non grata) an official USA governmental representative you are barring the USA.

    running_coach December 25, 2010, 12:45am 5. It will be a few days at the very least. Your fingertips have the highest concentration of nerve endings in the body so the pain is magnified. enipla December 25, 2010, 3:41am 6. And as the nerves heal, they may start to hurt a bit again.

    Morning, mumpers! It’s currently 20c/68f with a predicted high of 25c/78f and partly cloudy. Weather app says “A fucking optimist would say it’s partly sunny outside. Fuck that optimist”. Fair enough, it’s overcast but hot. Me no likey. I was up reasonably early to get the cats sorted out so everyone’s got food, fresh water and clean littler trays. Then onto the important job of ...

    Great Debates. DSeid September 8, 2024, 9:28pm 1. In advance my apologies for I fear will be a poorly articulated OP as the idea is ill formed in my head, which why I am hoping for some discussion.
