Cutis vulpina consuenda est cum cute leonis=--The fox's skin must be sewed to that of the lion.

_L. Pr._

I wear this Saint Christopher medal sometimes because — I'm Jewish — but my boyfriend is Catholic. It was cute, the way he gave it to me. He said if it doesn't burn through my skin, it will protect me. Who cares? Different religions. The only time it's an issue, I suppose, would be like if you're having a baby and you've got to figure out how you want to raise it. Which still wouldn't be an issue for us, because we'd be … honest, and just say, you know, like, "Mommy is one of the chosen people … and daddy believes that Jesus is magic!"

Sarah Silverman

Okay, so maybe you are the world’s authority on the art of making butter sculptures of dead presidents’ heads, but if you want to sell a book on the subject you’ll have to do more than know your stuff. You’ll need to make the idea sound sexy, or cool, or hot, or timely, or cute, or something that instantly makes it clear to people why the world needs your book.

In cute curanda plus ?quo operata juventus=--Youth unduly busy with pampering the outer man.

Horace.

When I take people round to see my animals, one of the first questions they ask (unless the animal is cute and appealing) is, "what use is it?" by which they mean, "what use is it to them?" To this one can reply "What use is the Acropolis?" Does a creature have to be of direct material use to mankind in order to exist? By and large, by asking the question "what use is it?" you are asking the animal to justify its existence without having justified your own.

Gerald Durrell

One 'ud think, an' hear some folk talk, as the men war cute enough to count the corns in a bag o' wheat wi' only smelling at it.

Intus et in cute novi hominem=--I know the man inside and out.

_Pers._

Ad populum phaleras, ego te intus et in cute novi=--To the vulgar herd with your trappings; for me, I know you both inside and out.

Peterson's Rules:

    (1) Trucks that overturn on freeways are filled with something sticky.

    (2) No cute baby in a carriage is ever a girl when called one.

    (3) Things that tick are not always clocks.

    (4) Suicide only works when you're bluffing.

Keep in mind always the four constant Laws of Frisbee:

    (1) The most powerful force in the world is that of a disc

       straining to land under a car, just out of reach (this

       force is technically termed "car suck").

    (2) Never precede any maneuver by a comment more predictive

       than "Watch this!"

    (3) The probability of a Frisbee hitting something is directly

       proportional to the cost of hitting it.  For instance, a

       Frisbee will always head directly towards a policeman or

       a little old lady rather than the beat up Chevy.

    (4) Your best throw happens when no one is watching; when the

       cute girl you've been trying to impress is watching, the

       Frisbee will invariably bounce out of your hand or hit you

       in the head and knock you silly.

"I thought that you said you were 20 years old!"

"As a programmer, yes," she replied,

"And you claimed to be very near two meters tall!"

"You said you were blonde, but you lied!"

Oh, she was a hacker and he was one, too,

They had so much in common, you'd say.

They exchanged jokes and poems, and clever new hacks,

And prompts that were cute or risque'.

He sent her a picture of his brother Sam,

She sent one from some past high school day,

And it might have gone on for the rest of their lives,

If they hadn't met in L.A.

"Your beard is an armpit," she said in disgust.

He answered, "Your armpit's a beard!"

And they chorused: "I think I could stand all the rest

If you were not so totally weird!"

If she had not said what he wanted to hear,

And he had not done just the same,

They'd have been far more honest, and never have met,

And would not have had fun with the game.

You know what we can be like:  See a guy and think he's cute one minute, the

I always will remember --        I was in no mood to trifle;

'Twas a year ago November --        I got down my trusty rifle

I went out to shoot some deer        And went out to stalk my prey --

On a morning bright and clear.        What a haul I made that day!

I went and shot the maximum        I tied them to my bumper and

The game laws would allow:        I drove them home somehow,

Two game wardens, seven hunters,    Two game wardens, seven hunters,

And a cow.                And a cow.

The Law was very firm, it        People ask me how I do it

Took away my permit--            And I say, "There's nothin' to it!

The worst punishment I ever endured.    You just stand there lookin' cute,

It turns out there was a reason:    And when something moves, you shoot."

Cows were out of season, and        And there's ten stuffed heads

One of the hunters wasn't insured.    In my trophy room right now:

                    Two game wardens, seven hunters,

                    And a pure-bred guernsey cow.

Non missura cutem, nisi plena cruoris hirudo=--A leech that will not leave the skin until it is gorged with blood.

Horace.

COOT, a well-known water-fowl, the _Fulica atra_ of Linnaeus, belonging to the family _Rallidae_ or rails. The word coot, in some parts of England pronounced cute, or scute, is of uncertain origin, but perhaps cognate with scout and scoter--both names of aquatic birds--a possibility which seems to be more likely since the name "macreuse," by which the coot is known in the south of France, being in the north of that country applied to the scoter (_Oedemia nigra_) shows that, though belonging to very different families, there is in popular estimation some connexion between the two birds.[1] The Latin _Fulica_ (in polite French, _Foulque_) is probably allied to _fuligo_, and has reference to the bird's dark colour.[2] The coot breeds abundantly in many of the larger inland waters of the northern parts of the Old World, in winter commonly resorting, and often in great numbers, to the mouth of rivers or shallow bays of the sea, where it becomes a general object of pursuit by gunners whether for sport or gain. At other times of the year it is comparatively unmolested, and being very prolific its abundance is easily understood. The nest is a large mass of flags, reeds or sedge, piled together among rushes in the water or on the margin, and not unfrequently contains as many as ten eggs. The young, when first hatched, are beautiful little creatures, clothed in jet-black down, with their heads of a bright orange-scarlet, varied with purplish-blue. This brilliant colouring is soon lost, and they begin to assume the almost uniform sooty-black plumage which is worn for the rest of their life; but a characteristic of the adult is a bare patch or callosity on the forehead, which being nearly white gives rise to the epithet "bald" often prefixed to the bird's name. The coot is about 18 in. in length, and will sometimes weigh over 2 lb. Though its wings appear to be short in proportion to its size, and it seems to rise with difficulty from the water, it is capable of long-sustained and rather rapid flight, which is performed with the legs stretched out behind the stumpy tail. It swims buoyantly, and looks a much larger bird in the water than it really is. It dives with ease, and when wounded is said frequently to clutch the weeds at the bottom with a grasp so firm as not even to be loosened by death. It does not often come on dry land, but when there, marches leisurely and not without a certain degree of grace. The feet of the coot are very remarkable, the toes being fringed by a lobed membrane, which must be of considerable assistance in swimming as well as in walking over the ooze--acting as they do like mud-boards.

_"Cute" and Screens._--Screens of coloured glass, intended to distinguish the light in particular azimuths, and of sheet iron, when it is desired to "cut off" the light sharply on any angle, should be fixed as far from the centre of the light as possible in order to reduce the escape of light rays due to divergence. These screens are usually attached to the lantern framing. Entry: _
