So I heard.

Back to risible.

I still think it is a great word.

It can be said in so many many different ways.

Errol I love your posts. You always bring a smile to my face.

ROFL that the meaning has been posted. Very in keeping with the word. ;-)

It is a word that has often been used in our family but not when we were camping.

Nooooo Tenerife Sun - you've just brought back an awkward memory. :-P

Whilst living on a camp site in Shetland, having to suggest one couple turn the light out, to avoid becoming a fascinating shadow show!!! :-0

Mis spent youth comes to mind, although the thought of Errol spending the night in a tent with a shepherd is probably why he cannot get the word out of his head, A very trawmatic event for any young sheep.

Edit, even worse for a Welsh sheep ;-)

John

Stop taking the p**s

I have stayed off your thinly veiled thread today and hoped (although never really expected) you would have the same respect.

Please stay off this thread and stop being such an idiot.

You are causing upset on a regular basis and although I could not care a fig about you, I do care about my friends when you continue to upset them on a regular basis.

Do you enjoy putting people off using the site?
(that is a rhetorical question because I really do not want you to answer)

Synonyms for risible:
antic, chucklesome, comedic, comic, comical, droll, farcical, hilarious, humoristic, humorous, hysterical (also hysteric), killing, laughable, ludicrous, ridiculous, riotous, funny, screaming, sidesplitting, uproarious.

Hope that helps a bit, Errol. :-)

From Google

ris·i·ble
/'riz?b?l/
Adjective
Such as to provoke laughter: "a risible scene of lovemaking in a tent".
Synonyms
ludicrous - ridiculous - laughable - comical - funny

A sheep making love in a tent brings all sorts of odd images to mind
