WORD OF THE DAY

�Word of the Day� Competition

Thank you, Ed, for your kindness in allowing me to choose �the Word�.

Today, I have chosen an idiomatic expression which is much-used where I live in the UK, especially in informal conversations.

What does the expression: �To be two-faced� mean? For example: �Oh, he�s two-faced!�

Please, don�t research it and give us the dictionary definition.

We want your silly, humorous, or crazy definitions so that we can all laugh and relax together. I�m waiting for your replies. They don�t have to be in perfect English, but it�s an advantage if they are funny. The more, the merrier!

I�ll give you the �correct� definition late this evening, and also choose a WINNER. That Member then chooses the next �Word�. It could be YOU.

Thank you!

Two faced is a reference to women who wake up in the morning with one face and by the time they leave the house for work have an entirely different face on.

two-faced is Ed having such an innocent face as his avatar and showing quite a different one in his words

(no offence, Ed, just couldn �t resist)

" Two-face" is an ancient, oriental philosophy that means having a balanced "qi" or an equilibrium of one �s life forces. Certain theololgians sometimes called this the "Tao" instead of the more commonly used, "Two-faced".

Two-faced are what we teachers get called by students, as they always say we have eyes in the back of our head, cuz we KNOW who �s fooling around even when we are writing on the board!
