Banky: What's a Nubian?

I think the word you're searching for is "nubile", Lochnar. "Nubian" describes an ancient Egyptian people, IIRC.

Nope. That is the word I meant. It holds a personal meaning for me as well fitting nicely into the time honored tradition of giving an alternate expansion of the acronym NT.

From Merriam-Webster Online :

Main Entry: Nu·bi·an
Pronunciation: 'nü-bE-&n, 'nyü-
Function: noun
1 a : a native or inhabitant of Nubia b : a member of one of the group of dark-skinned peoples that formed a powerful empire between Egypt and Ethiopia from the 6th to the 14th centuries
2 : any of several languages spoken in central and northern Sudan

Just don't Google the word. On the web, it tends to be used in a much more salacious manner than is my intention.

Actually, nubile might be applicable as well. However, given my status as being older than dirt, the colloquial usage of the word might also place me in the class of dirty old man. ;)

Main Entry: nu·bile
Pronunciation: 'nü-"bIl, 'nyü-, -b&l
Function: adjective
Etymology: French, from Latin nubilis, from nubere to marry -- more at NUPTIAL
1 : of marriageable condition or age
2 : sexually attractive -- used of a young woman



[edit]Hehehe... Given the subject that started this thread and given the better days and better looks of the celebrity sporting said subject, the above NT also applies to the thread. :P
