Word of the Day... Belcher

[Aunt Marg]

Belcher: a blue neckerchief having large white spots with dark blue spots at their centers. 2 : a multicolored handkerchief worn about the neck.

A person who belches.

 

[Aunt Marg]

Could a belcher not be any patterned neckerchief?

 

[Aunt Marg]

A belcher chain

I think it's good to have a word for things like a special kerchief or other item, that is worn around the neck....

but.......
I wish for, and would have preferred our language to have some other word for it,


rather than the term belcher, which certainly conjures up only that other meaning!

 

[Aunt Marg]

Babies can be real belchers when burping them.

 

[RubyK]

Many men of my acquaintance take great pride in their abilities as a Belcher!

 

[Pappy]

A bowl of beans and a soft drink, I can belch a picture off the wall.

 

[Ruthanne]

I have never been much of a belcher as the gas I get prefers to exit elsewhere

I have a sneaking suspicion Paps, knows EXACTLY what you are talking about, Ruthanne! ROFLMAO!

 

[Ruthanne]

My little Suzy dog, pictured in my avatar, is just a little doggie but is quite the belcher. After each meal about 2 minutes later I hear a big "buuuuuuuuuuurp!"

 

[Kaila]

Does that prove she liked and appreciated her food, @Ruthanne ?
OR simply that she is a belcher?

I rather think both Kaila!

Now my dear father was King of the Belchers! I swear his burps would last a good 5 minutes and you could hear them 4 houses down with the windows open!

We were never allowed to burp openly with no regard for others, and an "excuse me" was expected.

In his defense he didn't know I was listening as I was upstairs. Also I was making a funny exaggeration and I doubt the neighbors could hear.

Sounds like they were very strict...we were allowed to pass gas in any form and it was often joked about.

Strict, but not overly strict, but my mom had ideals and she had no qualms in letting us all know.

Belching and passing gas were two things my mom did not go for.

Ideals with gas...you gotto be kidding! I can see ideals with important things but gas is a natural thing that everybody does and most do if freely.

Not kidding, and I never allowed my kids to openly belch or pass gas freely, and if and when they did (by accident), an "excuse me" was expected.

I was the same way with my kids. But when my grandsons come, I laugh when they belch!
