Isn’t the plural of ‘Opus’ the word ‘Opera’?

I know that the plural of opus is opera. To me, opera is just some people putting themselves on a stage and waving their arms around and screaming something that nobody understands.

Shouldn't that be "opera are . . . ."

This needs to be added to the FReeper Lore collection. I entered the appropriate keywords. Bravo Zulu

Before you can execute a really good opus that will get the attention it deserves you need to attend to the necessary preliminaries. You must spend several months thoroughly antagonizing a large number of participants in the forum.

Only then can you take your bow on stage and exit stage left.

For full effect, one writing an opus should actually dictate their Opus sitting in a Prius. Nobody would ask what the plural of “opus” is under those conditions.

In any good opus, the author should emphasis how much of a “principled conservative” they are, and how important that they “preserve” these principles by having a verbal tanturm filled with random insults, name calling, and projection of their hurt feelings.

My complaint is that too many have opused out in replies to existing threads. They ain’t got the ‘nads to post their goodbye rants in their own original threads.

My Dad always told me, “If you’re going to write an opus, be sure it’s the best opus you can write.”

Actually, he was talking about washing the car...


I like it!

One should refer to Libbylu’s opera, it is the gold standard.

Put on some sad music. I recommend "Mandy" by Barry Manilow. If you don't have that, then put on "Muskrat Love". That one always makes me cry.

A great song to stimulate opus writers on FR would be Mean to Me by Ruth Etting

You're mean to me.
Why must you be mean to me?
Gee, honey, it seems to me,
You want to see me crying.

Seems to me that you would fit right in with Obama's Administration putting down Western Civilization and Culture.
