    You STAND ON a podium, STAND BEHIND a lecturn and STAND IN a pulpit.

    Have we ever figured out what the "L" word is? It's gotta be lesbian, right?

    I worked with a gal who, in casual conversation, used that word to describe any unidentified but possible biological substance. We finally pointed her in the direction of the actual definition of the word -- and she, to her credit, stopped using it. Mostly.

    She would also describe a job she didn't want to do as "a real dick in my ass."

    Lovely girl, though.

    I'd add "dialogue" to your list of verbed nouns.
