There's "botanically ripe", which means that the fruit contains mature seed that can be planted next season, and there's "horticulturally ripe", which that the fruit is at the desired stage for eating. Then of course, there's the 'ripe' which is suggestive of old socks or of a freshly-turned dunghill... -- Rusty Open the creaking gate to make a horrid.squeak, then lower the foobar. http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/ |
