Sorry for the "frenchism" !

Nope, it's a kind of onomatopoeia, i.e. the noise one's makes when they get carsick for example
Sometimes writen "beurk"
Is it "yuck" in american ?

Q

 

Not sure, but I think I would use "retch"

 

Yes, you're right, retch is the action, yuck is the noise it make
Sorry for being "graphic"

Q

 

Ah, Bing saved me the trouble of looking it up....

At this point in my life, that's about all I can do LOL

 

Why sorry? I feel the same way. When I was dating my soon to be wife many decades ago, we were visiting her aunt at her house. Her aunt was slightly inebriated and as I was leaving, her aunt came over to kiss me on the cheek (so I thought). Instead, she kissed me full on the lips and stuck her tongue in my mouth. I think I was about 17 years old and her aunt was in her late forties. Her Aunt was rather rotund and not to my taste in women. Yuck and retch were the correct words then and now.

 

Poor you.
I guess you don't look at women in their forties the same way now, right ?

Q

 

Well, now that I'm in my mid 60's, 40's are young. But I still have my scruples.

 

My gosh man, we did NOT need to know that.

 

My wife would die if she knew I told everyone.

 

i won't tell a soul.

 

JEEZ!!!!

Now I have no appetite for lunch!!!

Thanks, Bing and CHRS!!!

 

You're welcome.

 

May I suggest the application of a scale regarding make-up. The base unit will be known as a TIF-TET being equal to the amount of makeup used on those tetradrachms TIF bought a while back. Any person wearing over two TIF-TETs of makeup must be looked upon a deceptive, devious or deluded unless they are appearing in a stage/screen/TV production or planning a candy gathering expedition in late October. I am about the same age as Bing and prefer truth in surfacing in people as well as in coins.

Beuark = makes me want to toss cookies?

 

For reference, here is the thread with the large lot of CoverGirled coins. I've since noticed makeup or colored wax on a vast number of provincial coins, particular from a few Vcoins sellers.



Before and after makeup removal:

 

This thread went in the wrong direction... *shakes head and walks away*...

 

Beuark must be French for "barf"?

Oh, and I am "not" a fan of make-up, but I guess I can handle a bit of make-up if it makes the subject feel a bit better about themselves ...
