1 | Is Jesus the Almighty? | John 3:16 | Rowdy | 112256 | ||
Brodacious is borrowed from my good friend in the comics, Snuffy Smith. I'm sure you're too young to remember. As I mention before, still looking forward to knowing more about your background. How did you come to such an interesting position on this Trinity issue. I agree with you. The word "Trinity" is NOT in the Bible but the concept clearly is, in many different places. But again I have an idea you've already seen these passages. Still...God bless. I hope to see you in Heaven. | ||||||

FYI -- Bodacious; note reference to Snuffy Smith below. From www.dictionary.com bo·da·cious also bow·da·cious adj. Remarkable; prodigious. Audacious; gutsy. adv. Completely; extremely. Audaciously; boldly. [Probably from dialectal boldacious, blend of bold, and audacious.] Regional Note: Popularized in the comic strip Snuffy Smith, bodacious is probably a blend of the words bold and audacious, whose combined senses are evident in the following description of Sevier County, Tennessee, as “the most bodacious display of tourism this side of Anaheim” (Los Angeles Times). A more traditional meaning is “remarkable, prodigious”: “a bodacious amount of smoke” (Springfield MA Morning Union); “the most bodacious tale of hidden treasure” (Lawrence E. Will). Bodacious can also be an adverbial intensifier: “She's so bowdacious unreasonable when she's raised [irritated]” (William T. Thompson). African-American speech in New York City retains this Southernism as bardacious. Joseph Wright's English Dialect Dictionary cites the form boldacious, which is the likely source for bodacious. |
