incult \In*cult"\, adjective:

1. Not cultured; coarse.
2. Untilled; uncultivated; crude; rude; uncivilized.

Her forests huge,
Incult, robust, and tall, by Nature’s hand
Planted of old; her azure lakes between,
Poured out extensive, and of wat’ry wealth
Full; winding deep and green, her fertile vales,
With many a cool translucent, brimming flood
Washed lovely, from the Tweed, pure parent stream,
Whose pastoral banks first heard my Doric reed,
With sylvan Jed, thy tributary brook,
To where the north-inflated tempest foams.

James Thomson, 1700-1748
Title of this poem is unknown, but can be found here.
Byways of the Scottish Border; "Jethart's Here!".

Etymology: Latin incultus, from in- + cultus, past participle of colere to cultivate. Date: 1599.

[camle]

[SeaDragon]

i just asked him the same thing OTT!

Great minds.............

[xsmommy]

well that would no longer be a backrub, now would it....; )

[camle]

it would be far better than a back rub too.

my coquette knows how to message my aching back when it goes out. she's great!

[dixie sass]

Incult, how apropo. A perfect word to describe the infighting and etc. that has been going on the last several weeks. Perhaps now we can have a little culture and manners return to the site.

"I'm sorry sir, the Senator is in-cult today. May I take a message?"

[Sorry I'm late; been in publik skool all day]

[doubled]

By means of the mysterious occult
Terry did make the great big buck
He shook the rattle
And told some prattle
But the explanation is really incult.

Sorry to be so late, but the demands of the office caught up with me this morning.

[doubled]

I didn't mean to clear out the room by my very presence. It is not like I am one of those third of the people that do those horrible things in public.

[.30Carbine]

I don't think you "cleared the room," doubled! I think life is just getting in the way of FReeping this summer for many of us...I know it is for me.

Along that line, I have a prayer request. I am finding myself incapable of refraining from incult behavior on FR, even with the little time I have here! I want to be loving and gentle, as a good Christian Coquette should, but when I run into Commies and Liberals and the like on threads, such as This One, where I posted This and This...well, I just get all coarse and mean and feel like knocking some heads together. It all started Here.

Please pray for me, that I would be a good and loving FReeperette! I would like to be more loving, but I find only incultness within!

It is not like I am one of those third of the people that do those horrible things in public.

Ah, but sadly, doubled, I AM, as This Post points out!

[xsmommy]

you have my prayers, .30, i'm sure you will be better today! some days we just aren't at our nicest and sweetest. it even happens to ME, the font of sweetness and light ; )

[xsmommy]

there's been sparse attendance lately, doubled, but with Labor Day and school starting, i am sure everyone will be ready to knuckle back down to Miss Rika's books.

[Slip18]

Don't worry, .30. You're okay. I felt the same way this weekend. I haven't read all your links yet, but I will some time today.

Getting over another killer flu that has hit AZ.

You are a good person. And don't let the sons of guns get you down.

[xsmommy]

sheesh slippy, take care of yourself, wouldja?
