WTMindy Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 This thread has had me cracking up all evening. I KNOW it is terrible that this youth pastor gave this to the youth group. I'd be ticked too. Really, I would. But doesn't anyone else find just a smidge of humor in it? I'm sure the authors of the quiz were just trying to find clever synonyms for lips and did not really understand the connotation of labia!! I know. I have a seriously demented sense of humor!

Nicole M Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 You know, I hadn't read that thread. But now I'm dying to know the answers to those questions on the quiz. Have you figured it out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you figured it out? It's in one of the later posts. The first one is Red Hots and the second is Kisses. But, ya gotta admit that "labial massage" might send a different message.

Plucky Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Did someone get carried away with the Thesaurus or did they let a teen help? LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicole M Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Oh. I was thinking much dirtier. So yes, those answers seem obvious. "Labial massage" -- who are these youth leaders? Did they just go badly wrong with a thesaurus? Who'd a thunk it, that in the hands of the wrong people, that little reference guide could cause such a hullabaloo?

5kidsforME Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 (edited) It's in one of the later posts. The first one is Red Hots and the second is Kisses. But, ya gotta admit that "labial massage" might send a different message. The thing is there is no "other" meaning to this, am I right? The definition of Labial isn't interchangable with lips on your face, correct?? BTW I hadn't read the other thread so needless to say I was.......... :svengo: I would be pretty PO'ed but then would later think it was.....maybe humorous unless it was my kids getting the paper.

frogpond1 Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 I was betting it came off the internet or out of a book. For AWANA I use a lot of ideas from websites myself, but you do need to take the time to really preview things. I think people might want to write to this publisher actually and register their opinions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dictionary has labial "of or relating to the lips". No other definition. And it was the kids getting the paper for the game, from what I understand.

Plucky Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 I went to dictionary.com and entered labial. You're right. I thought that might be true, but I don't think we generally use it to describe the lips on our face. Interesting. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/labial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is hilarious, but not appropriate for youth group! I know labia can mean either the female part or the mouth, but if I was not a nurse (and familiar with the Latin for "lips"), I wouldn't have guessed the mouth. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cricket Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 I hadn't read the previous thread either but now I'll be chuckling all night, thank you very much! It really is terrible but I'm still laughing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swellmomma Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 I find it hilarious but now that I have read the quiz I am laughing even more, click the link then look at #23, poor kitty lol or #20 which makes me think of saggy booKs "Lactic flops" the people who used that quiz, clearly never really read it, they found the quiz and printed it off without another thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathleen in VA Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 From my computer's version of the Oxford English Dictionary: labial |ˈlābēəl| adjective 1 chiefly Anatomy of or relating to the lips. • Dentistry (of the surface of a tooth) adjacent to the lips. • Zoology of, resembling, or serving as a lip, liplike part, or labium. 2 Phonetics (of a consonant) requiring complete or partial closure of the lips (e.g., p, b, f, v, m, w), or (of a vowel) requiring rounded lips (e.g., oo in m oo n). noun Phonetics a labial sound. DERIVATIVES labialize |-ˌlīz| verb (in sense 2) . labially adverb ORIGIN late 16th cent.: from medieval Latin labialis, from Latin labium ‘lip.’ That is all it says - no mention of anything more than something to do with lips. Of course, when I entered the word without the final 'l" I got a completely different definition. Maybe with the "l" it is a completely innocent term? "Libidinous" on the other hand.....not sure why that would be on a candy quiz in a book published by Zondervan.:confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
