peer agreement (net): +2just goo it Explanation: To goo is a funny verb! I thought that you might be talking about what can be done to pictures nowadays, (reference below) and it means to mix things up and make a kind of "mess" of things. Goo is something sticky, messed up, disgusting (sometimes). A great word to use when you don't know how to describe something runny, or "yucky". Kids love this word, and if it's for the link that I gave below, it means "just mess it up" in terms of a picture. Put pig ears on your little brother's picture, or your Mom's smile on your Dad's face. Things like that. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-06-03 21:31:07 (GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- It\'s catchy to the ear because it sounds so similar to \"just do it\", the slogan that goes with a well-known sports shoe brand... www.scansoft.com/news/pressreleases/ 1999/19991104_photofactory.asp |
