Was Zimmerman staying there? Trouble seems to follow him everywhere.
Only near Disney World? Damn. Still, better luck next time.
Yup, I hope so too. I keep telling Cory that Disney World is an evil place. Maybe now heâll start to listenâŚ
But strawberries are delicious!
You cannot evacuate a person, you can only evacuate a building. The phrase â35 people were evacuatedâ means that they gave 35 people an enema. The things I learn on The Wire.
Cory, Cory, this oneâs not even about Disney World. If youâre not careful, advertisers will catch on that you knee-jerk post anything with the word âDisneyâ in the title, and then where will we be? Boing Boing will be nothing but â1 Weird Trick For a Flat Belly DISNEY WORLDâ. Is that what you want? IS IT?
The Wire could use a dictionary.
e¡vac¡u¡ate, verb, sense 2: to remove (persons or things) from a place, as a dangerous place or disaster area, for reasons of safety or protection: to evacuate the inhabitants of towns in the path of a flood.
You can evacuate a building. Dictionary.com doesnât hold to the same standards as journalists, so⌠Evacuation means âto remove the contents ofâ, so, if you evacuate people, youâre removing their contents - hence, an enema. Agree to disagree, I guess.
Dictionary.com doesnât âholdâ anything.
It has no hands, you see.
hold
1 [hohld] Show IPA verb, held; held or ( Archaic ) hold¡en; hold¡ing; noun

Agree with me to disagree about the agreement that is a priori contained within the concept of disagreement.
Merriam Webster, Oxford and Longman all allow both meanings, and some include the definition âcreate a vacuum inâ. From Longman:
1 [transitive] to send people away from a dangerous place to a safe place
evacuate somebody from/to something
Several families were evacuated from their homes.
During the war he was evacuated to Scotland.
2 [intransitive and transitive] to empty a place by making all the people leave:
Police evacuated the area.
The order was given to evacuate.
Since I am being held to a particular standard, Dictionary.com does allow for the word âholdâ to be used as a verb indicating agreement or siding with (check number 23 in the list). In my defense, I give you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5d82ndui_s Language NSFW
But whatâs the Haunted Mansion angle?
Man alive Florida seems to be getting devoured whole
Rubbish. Dictionary.com states verb usage first then Physiology term lastly.
Example from Dictionary.com âto evacuate the inhabitants of towns in the path of a flood.â
Your playing Mall Cop semantics, IMO.
You may want too cite Urbandictionary.com as their term for evacuation is more in-line Polly Shore humor/banter. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=evacuation
One Clermont is ânot about 10 minutes from Disneyâ, Two this resort is not in Clermont, itâs in Kissmmee. So much for CNN fact checking.
A recent article on the effect of global warming and rising oceans on real estate in Florida (executive version: hope you havenât bought real estate in Miami) said that one of the reasons why seawalls or dikes wonât work is that much of Florida is based on porous limestone, and so you have the problem of seawater coming from underneath.
So. Youâre saying that there can be more than one meaning to a word?
