on Sat 20 Feb 10, 5:59 PM to the O_and_P group.
What do you think we should call the meeting for O and P? A munch doesn't seem right, cos it's a little more formal in parts and will hopefully be more on-topic than off, which is the opposite of what most munches seem to be. In addition, it's not (at the moment anyway) a monthly, single venue affair, which again, munches tend to be. Therefore i think a new name would be good.
Here is some etemology of the term munch, for those of you feeling inspired to create such linguistic history. Ahem.
My first suggestion is a 'romp'. It can mean 'having fun' AND 'an argument' and contains the letters O and P. What do you think?

Or 'pomp', as in ceremony. Could stand for 'P and O meeting place'. Am i onto a winner?! mia, x "Passion should believe itself irresistible.

Opus? Might depend on how much you regard this as science or art...

mia also suggested "An Open" today - maybe short for Open Meeting - a bit like an "open mike" event, in that the discussion part will be everyone saying what they want to say rather than A Lecture from one person  It's also rather welcoming, and starts with "O" and "P" of course "A Roundtable" might convey the idea of everyone being able to speak too if they want, but that may over-stress the discussion part, whereas there's lots of social time too. We could just stick with "O&P Meeting" anyway, although it does sound a bit formal to be honest. Regards, Tanos Edited 20 Feb 10, 10:44 PM by Tanos | ||

You were the first to say "open" when you and I were talking about it, honest T Edited 21 Feb 10, 7:27 AM by Tanos | ||

I like Open like an "open house" which sounds welcoming, but you ask for suggestions so how about an OPal? OPal OPen to all A gem of a place open to all to discuss and socialise with others curious about, interested in or currently in an O&P relationship.

i think OPen is good too. can't think of any other OP ones, but i suppose you can have an offline 'forum' and i quite like the idea of a 'parley' but then that does make it sound a bit like a game of pirates. some days it's hardly worth chewing through the leather straps Edited 21 Feb 10, 8:36 AM by dirtylittlecunt | ||

I like OPen. The only other Op words I can think that might fit are 'opinion' and 'opportunity' | ||

I like this as the first meeting would then be opus one, and that tickles me. Nat let us not reinvent the friction reducing rotary transportation instrument using the algebraic equation x squared + y squared equals radius... |
