You're damn skippy!
Pip!
Vera, as every expecting Mommy knows, means Truth.
ve·ra·cious Honest; truthful. 2. Accurate; precise. ve·ra
cious·ly adv. --ve·ra cious·ness n.
Important derivatives are: warlock, verity, very, verdict,
verify...
Veronica, as every nun knows, so Jane tells me, means image
of the truth.
According to popular legend, an image of the face of Jesus
as impressed on the handkerchief offered to him by Saint
Veronica on the road to Calvary. b. The handkerchief itself.
2. A cloth bearing a representation of Jesus's face.
[Medieval Latin, of true image.
Try to reconcile those extremes, Stencil, flip/flop,
tick/tock.
Feeling like Blowitt and Overbaby, the airmen that get
killed in GR, but The Intuitionist is good medicine, thanks.
