"Salagunting" is a word in HILIGAYNON, CEBUANO
salagunting n principal rafters of a roof.
v [A; a2b6] put, make, make into a principal rafter.
salagúnting - Shears, poles tied together
at the top from which depends the tackle
for hoisting, trestle formed by two or more
bamboos, etc. tied together at one end and
opening out at the other somewhat like a
pair of scissors; hence the name. Butangán
mo sing salagúnting ang baláyan. Put a
trestle under the girder. Salaguntingá kon
sín-o ang makáwat. Find out by means of
a pendulum swinging on a three-legged
trestle, who was the thief. (A superstitious
practice indulged in by the ignorant).
And no wonder; for the new technique of "subliminal projection," as it was called, was intimately associated with mass entertainment, and in the life of civilized human beings massed entertainment now plays a part comparable to that played in the Middle Ages be religion.
WORD SUGGESTIONS
A pious man who had reached the age of 105 suddenly stopped going to synagogue. Alarmed by the old fellow's absence after so many years of faithful attendance the Rabbi went to see him. He found him in excellent health, so the Rabbi asked, "How come after all these years we don't see you at services anymore?"The old man looked around and lowered his voice. "I'll tell you, Rabbi," he whispered. "When I got to be 90, I expected God to take me any day. But then I got to be 95, then 100, then 105. So I figured that God is very busy and must've forgotten about me, and I don't want to remind Him!"
