FASTIDIOUS ~ means fussy & clean
ORIGIN ~ Loathing of all things obscene !
A MAN described his MA in LAW as FASTIDIOUS
He said "She was FAST & HIDEOUS !"
GAFF ~ is a faux pas or blunder
ORIGIN ~ French ~ a boat hook or blunder
In English "slang" GAFF is also a word for a HOME !
HAUTE CUISINE ~ High Class Cooking ~ but NOT
Restaurant in the Sky ~ but CUISINE HOT ! ~ French
ICONOCLAST ~ Attack on Cherished beliefs
ORIGIN ~ Icon = Idol ~ Clan (Greek) to break !

Learn something new every day = well written Brian
Thanks MICHAEL ~ Trust you are having a Cool Yool ! Yes words are important ~ the more the merrier ~ especially for "Rhyming Poetry" ~ BRIAN
Yes, 'tis educational on 'ere! thanks Brian. They clasted those icons in a blitz centuries ago! Somewhen it was. I was probably there in person, but ages ago!
Not that I'm against icons, as long we don't worship statues.
Thanks STEVE ~ I agree ~ Statues etc have no place in a Reformed Church ~ The Church of Scotland is the example of an Image & Icon Free Church ! Luther approved of them as Aids to Devotion ~ and they still abound in Lutheran Churches ! In the 21st C (A Century of literacy & enlightenment are they still necessary ? Yours BRIAN
Thanks Brian. Some 'free' churches for example, may just have a cross, while some fairly 'high' churches may have lots of statues. I can see how they can be aids to devotion, if we don't worship them. How much of it comes under 'graven images' though? I was sentimental - not the best guide to go by! I saw a statue of St Giles and a hind. She, the hind, used to always stay with him in his lifetime.
Always educational and fun! Great job! Well written--Sisterly hugs, Christina
