i was about to change sash to slash for a word that was describing a software component in the document i'm editing ... but i thought i had better just do a quick definition check ... the next thing i know i'm learning a new definition for the word sash.
how many of you have heard sash used in window context before?

Our old Victorian house had sash windows which could prove quite dangerous if you stuck your head outside and the window suddenly slid downwards.
I think you have heard of it before....
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads;
And mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled down for a long winter's nap,
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.
I did not know this word in this context.
Here’s another new word for you: Shema (sh -mä ) n. "A liturgical prayer consisting of three Scriptural passages (Deuteronomy 6:4-9, 11:13-21, and Numbers 15:37-41) recited twice daily by adult Jewish males to affirm their faith." Sometimes I go to freedictionery.com, look up ‘shema,’ turn up the volume on my speaker, and click on the little horn again and again (the one on the top with the female voice). It drives her crazy. Is that mean? Well, as Michael Scott says: “sometimes the end justifies the mean.”
Bravo Emily
that was way cool to come up with that explination. I would have never in a million years thought of that.
And "OVER HERE" must be of the baby boomer generation because I had a few nots on my head from falling sashes when I was a kid.
