/// Who’s the handsome young man portrayed here?

Robert Fulton, the famed engineer.

People say that this dreamboat

invented the steamboat.

Well… he built one that worked, that part’s clear.

Engineers – they might get the girl, but it’s not because of their poetic skills.

If I get another 6 on Wordle, I will pull my hair out!

“Thine” like “whom” is the object of a preposition. So it’s thy bosom.

where’s a grammar when you need one?

Darn keyboard is broken.

You’ll be longing for fresh air. Yours is a reportable offence punishable with jail time. Lord the trouble he could get into if he had a cellphone!

Of course he longs to see it. That’s why she wears that push up bra/corset contraption!

Beauregard couldn’t write but he tried to act like he could hold an implement for his portrait.

Eager to put a feather in his cap after writing that piece.

Proper etiquette: one must dress correctly before writing one’s grocery list

Deep Thoughts by Jack Handy.

Is the bosom “thine”, or is it “thy”?/

And why am I wondering ? Why?/

I’ve seen it before/

(It’s becoming a bore!)/

But I still have not seen thy THIGH?

The hesitation when, having picked a quill, you wonder if the other would be the better choice,

After a wild night of revel with friends at his apartment Chester employed automatic writing in an effort to find his lost sock.

If he’s going to blither on about her fulsome bosom he might as well not bother longing.

Buster draws a blank when trying to write his dad’s appeal brief.

Johnny’s mind started to wander and ended up writing “The Fulsome Prison Blues.”

A gentleman preparing for his first Mardi Gras.

Rock Hudson knew that dressing up in period costumes and using certain props always got him in just the right mood to write romantic letters to his beaux.

Back when men were poetic and stylish when saying “I wanna see your boobs”.

Fulsome’s folly.

Doesn’t know an adjective from a pronoun; must have gone to school in Florida.

“Fulton’s a Steampunk!”

Fulsome: offensive to good taste, especially as being excessive; overdone or gross

bobby is writing me an invite, i’ll write back, he’s kind of cute.

John Fitch had the US patent for a steam boat, had built two, and operated regular service ten years before Fulton “invented” his. John Fitch couldn’t get a Watt steam engine because of British politics, so he made his own from pictures of Watt’s.

Thy local bosom market having all but dried up, Timothy resigned himself to writing “True Lust” stories for Playbeau Magazine forum.

Thy / Thine, either one is better than Whoa Babe, you have great knockers

Who cares, just bring out the bosom…

Usage Note: The original meaning of fulsome was “copious, abundant.” But fulsome is now most often used of remarks that involve excessive praise or ingratiating flattery, as in Their fulsome compliments were viewed as an awkward attempt at winning approval. This narrower application of the word has become its sole meaning for many educated speakers, to the point where a large majority of the Usage Panel disapproves of the use of fulsome to mean simply “full” or “copious.” In our 2012 survey, only 19 percent accepted the use of fulsome as a synonym of full in the sentence You can adjust the TV’s audio settings for a more fulsome bass in movie soundtracks. Use of the word as a synonym of copious or expansive found only slightly more takers—21 percent accepted The final report will furnish a more detailed and fulsome discussion of the issues involved. The use of fulsome as a simple synonym of praising without a clear indication of inordinacy or insincerity split the Panel nearly down the middle, with 55 percent accepting the example The research director claimed that the product was a major advance that would improve Web access for everyone, and the marketing VP was equally fulsome in her remarks. Thus it may be best to avoid fulsome except where the context unambiguously conveys the idea that the praise in question is excessive or fawning.

/// I recall when I first saw you pull

off that shawl you would wear (virgin wool).

What I viewed was so grand

that I take quill in hand:

“That’s some bosom thou hath— it’s so full.”

I suppose it’s pointless to note that fulsome means “excessively large.” It’s not a good thing.

What did they say when the mini skirt came out that they also said when Fulton invented the steamboat? “Now we don’t have to wait for the wind to blow.”
