Can Someone Please Tell Me The Definition Of A Stevedore?
When Buffy/Faith Mentioned This I was Puzzled..

isnt that something to do with bullfighting? *blush*

 

[Mr. Pointy]

A stevedore is a type of dock worker, usually employed to load and unload vessels. See, 20+ years working at a dock haven't been totally wasted 🙂

BTW if you want to know what a word means try typing "define:the word you want to know" into Google and you end up with a results page like THIS ONE
*cs* - you were close with the bullfighting guess 🙂...the etymology of stevedore is from the Spanish estibador, from estibar = to pack

Interesting...I've always done it backwards (word) "definition", which returns a results page like this. The results are broader, but to get to the more specific page you got, I'd have to click a second time.

If you have Firefox you get an option for answers.com in the search bar which returns a results page like this

You can add an option for wikiseek in the search bar, which returns a page like this

Or there is also the very useful Dictionary.com. It not only offers word meanings and spellings but provides a thesaurus and encyclopedia search as well.

I go to Dictionary.com all the time. Very useful site.
