antics?
======================================================================
>From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
Antic \An"tic\, n.
1. A buffoon or merry-andrew; one that practices odd
gesticulations; the Fool of the old play.
2. An odd imagery, device, or tracery; a fantastic figure.
3. A grotesque trick; a piece of buffoonery; a caper.
>From WordNet (r) 1.6 [wn]:
n : a ludicrous or grotesque act done for fun and amusement
[syn: {joke}, {prank}, {trick}, {caper}]
======================================================================
Yessss. Derogatory indeed (which is unfortunate, for without
these ad hominems we may have had a useful dialog). However, if these
are merely the gestures of fools, then
