  • evacuate ones bowls ? isn't that correct ?

  • ha ha

    it would seem that this USED to be the case

    Merriam-Webster Dictionary of English Usage's article on this very subject."This was indeed a usage controversy until about WWII, by which time the 'remove (people)' sense had taken firm hold. According the MWDEU: 'The respectability of this sense is no longer subject to question.'"

    so my statement only holds up pre-WW2...
    so i'll get my badge and my coat...
    and EVAC outta this thread
