peer agreement (net): +1special personal attachment Explanation: I'm a woodworker and love tools. Some of them I might call "intimate" in the sense that I feel a special personal attachment to them. I might have had very good results with them or they may be especially well made. I simply "love" them. Here are some tools to which I might attach the word "intimate": http://www.lie-nielsen.com/ |

since you asked... Explanation: I think I could regard a real object as intimate (as Kim suggested), but not a brand -- unless 'intimate' is to be understood as the opposite of 'distant' or 'aloof'. Howver, that's not the meaning that first comes to mind, so IMO it would have to be explictly stated ('How would you rate the brand on the scale of 'disant -- intimate'?'). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 46 mins (2006-10-05 14:01:46 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Please insert the missing letters as appropriate... |
