"Spirant" is a word in ENGLISH
A term used differently by different authorities; -- by
some as equivalent to fricative, -- that is, as including all the
continuous consonants, except the nasals m, n, ng; with the further
exception, by others, of the liquids r, l, and the semivowels w, y; by
others limited to f, v, th surd and sonant, and the sound of German ch,
-- thus excluding the sibilants, as well as the nasals, liquids, and
semivowels. See Guide to Pronunciation, // 197-208.
It has been more wittily than charitably said that hell is paved with good intentions. They have their place in heaven also.
WORD SUGGESTIONS
A grizzled old man was eating in a truck stop when three Hell's Angels' bikers walked in. The first walked up to the old man, pushed his cigarette into the old man's pie and then took a seat at the counter. The second walked up to the old man, spat into the old man's milk and then he too took a seat at the counter. The third walked up to the old man, turned over the old man's plate, and then he took a seat at the counter. Without a word of protest, the old man quietly left the diner. Shortly thereafter, one of the bikers said to the waitress, "Humph, not much of a man, was he?" The waitress replied, "Not much of a truck driver either, he just backed his big-rig over three motorcycles."
