    The concept of vacating my body of mucus then keeping it in my pocket is just a little gross. Handkerchiefs predate disposable tissues (avoiding brand-names) so as technology moves on, so should we.

    Merry Xmas to all :)

    This video about the handkerchief reminded me of a clip from the scifi/comedy tv series called Red Dwarf. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYT7Pk04t9g#t=7m34s (half minute clip about blowing your nose) :razz:

    I do not use a handkerchief. I’ll keep a box of tissue handy when I need too.

    i used to carry a handkerchief all the time for cleaning my glasses, until i finally i had had enough of the scratches they left on the lenses… :???:

    i seldom used them for blowing my nose – like you, Marina, it seemed odd to use it and fold the dang thing back to put in my pocket…

    ’sides – i often forgot it was there – nothing like knowing a handkerchief can’t get clean while folded up in your pants pocket and wanting to wash both the pants & handkerchief again… :cool:

    WORD REQUEST! =P

    Evening Marina. I was looking through the words that have already been done, and I noticed you haven’t done Rock ‘n Roll yet. Trying to think and I can’t understand why a genre of music would be named after a piece of granite. :roll:

    Thanks Marina!

    better use handkerchiefs than tissue papers . Think of the poor tree that died so that you can wipe your snot . And toilet papers …..

    TheRealAQ on YouTube reports that “handkerchief” has entered Japanese as ハンカチー (hankachii).

    The problem with a handkerchief is when you have to do your laundry, Trying to pull it a part and get it unstuck to get it flat again so you could get spay and wash on it is a real challenge. Snot seems to work better than any crazy glue on the market. And since I don’t have a wife to do my laundry like most men, I
    have given up on the use of the handkerchief!

    Mistletoe ;

    just a request please to learn what is it’s origin,

    and if it’s meaning has always been the same.

    Happy Holidays Marina

    How did we get from the verb “give” or “giving” to “gift” or “gifting” as a verb?
