The Fate of Huguette Clark's Fortune

[rue]

I'm surprised you didn't know her Tomasso

 

[Tomasso]

Are you referring to my days as an escort?

 

[rue]

Perhaps I would have, if I would have known, but no, I was referring to you seeming to know affluential people.
Is that why you know them

 

[Tomasso]

Is that why you know them

Well, one meets people all sorts of ways.........

BTW, can you really consider Mrs. Clark to be affluential when she lived in the biggest apartment in Manhattan?

 

[rue]

No, I consider her stinkin' rich

But you seem to know those people too......

According to Yahoo News and your slide show she recluded herself [huh]

God I love what Americans do to our language....

 

[rue]

What do you mean?

Well, I'm guessing you mean my usage of the word affluential so I looked it up to make sure:

Main Entry: affluential
Part of Speech: adj
Definition: wealthy and influential; rich and powerful
Example: The sons and daughters of magnates are affluential.
Etymology: a blend of affluent and influential
Usage: affluential n.

 

[Tomasso]

I believe he's referring to the use of recluded and affluential . I'll admit, I had to look up both words.

But look at the definition above that one.

affluential (ˌæflʊˈɛnʃəl)

— n
an affluent person who does not display his or her wealth in the form of material possessions


And then this definition.


Just quit using such fancy word, Rue!!!:rage:

:rofl: You're funny

 

[LizzieMaine]

No, I consider her stinkin' rich

That would be "effluential" then.

 

[rue]

Maybe it is..... :eusa_doh: I'll take your word for it Lizzie

 

[subject101]

What do you mean?

He means that we write like uneducated peasants :bounce: :laugh:

BTW I never said I was american. Moreover, everybody thinks I'm british but this fact hasn't been proven true yet, so I can't be blamed for that, at least until my next parental test.

[Tomasso]

Half this thread is now rubbish and we all know where the blame lies.......Rue...[bad]

 

[rue]

I'm pleading the 5th

 

[Tomasso]

I'm pleading the 5th

I knew there was a bottle behind your behavior. :nod:

 

[Stray Cat]

Still:
"Who could be slated to get the three houses and mountains of cash?"

 

[cookie]

That would be "effluential" then.

I was waiting for that one....
