Re: a few questions that have been on our minds over the years
Am glad that it is not just my hubby, Jerry, and I who sit there and wonder these things.
We will be sure and watch "Castle" tonight.
"Scarlet Clue" is one of our favorites, and we have always thought that they should have arrested someone else for helping Mrs. Marsh. We used to work in a large building, and use the freight elevator. She would have needed someone to help her get that guy's body out of the bottom of that elevator shaft, and up to the 10th floor, even if she used a dolly or cart of some kind.
As for that word gloop, we need to find an 80 or 90 year old to ask.
Re: a few questions that have been on our minds over the years
Back to what Mrs. Marsh said - last night we had "Scarlet Clue" on, and as I wasn't totally "watching" it, but it was on in the background, I guess I heard "gloop" in another way. It almost sounded like she said "galoot", which is an oaf, or a clumsy person.
On the other hand, I decided to play my DVD with subtitles, and sure enough the subtitles read "gloop". So now what do I think? I looked up gloop in the dictionary, but I don't know if that helped me any. Gloop is a vicous, sticky substance. My "Chambers" definition of gloop AS A NOUN is: "thick viscous liquid, esp. a glob, splodge or slow drip or dribble of such; sentimentality, mush or pulp".
