Feeding and ... watering??? 2

[Ladyazh]

I think it is a very complicated, so far at work no one was able to answer it. Best so far was 'quench thirst' - not even funny.
So:
When you have food you can feed someone.
When you have water you can ... someone.

What is the word for food-feeding, water-...?

Thanks,
I need to educate my co-workers and I will mention source.
Promice.

When you have water you can give someone a bath?

Ladyazh,

Do you get the sense that when you post a thread on MAI, on a Friday, you ain't gunna get too many serious responses?

BTW, you haven't posted your personal introduction that our Fearless Leader, CajunCenturion, can post to the "All About Us" FAQ (which can give you a bit more info about each of us, as well).

CC, please remind me (thus disclosing to Ladyazh and others who have not yet introduced themselves) how to post for the "All About Us" FAQ.

Technically, water as a stand-alone, may not have been necessary for some dinosaurs, its not necessary for some insects and reptiles and for a few mammals is only necessary in extreme circumstances.

There are lizards and insects that derive all the liquid they need from the plants and animals they eat.

Meerkats (according to the Animal Planet's show Meerkat Manor) also ingest most, if not all the water they need from the insects they eat.

Those creatures' bodies have adapted to the point that they recycle water with an amazing degree of efficiency...

Hmmm... "I've Food and Drinked you" doesn't work much better does it?

How about: "I've taken care of your every need for all these years, and all the thanks I get is one wilted flower, stolen from the Park?!"... Sorry, I think I went off on one there.

Have you ever noticed that "WWW" takes three times longer to say ("syllabically" speaking) than the term it abbreviates, "World-Wide Web"?

Lunatic,
I can only say that we can nevermind those animals you mentioned and we not going to talk to them if their need in water insignificant to such extend! So cross them off your list

I was just thinking yesterday about doubleU-doubleU-doubleU like HOW did it happened that it flew out to public without modification?

If you really have to, you can say "I've given you food and drink". That should take care of it.

Foods and drinks for plural? Ahhhhh

I want to explain more. Today we were goofing about our reviews and one co-worker said 'how am I suppose to feed my family?' and I wanted to say 'you can only (water) them'
and here we started to think and came up with quenching the thirst and it is about it.

Not to be picky (well yes actually I am)

But "Man" wasn't around at the same time as the dinosaurs, much less had the abilty to speak English.

According to some, we still don't. ;-)

but it could be said that the english language is an evolving language, therefore there is no "correct" english. Anyone reading Shakespear would know how much it changes in a relativly short time.

How about simply...

"I've fed you for so many years" ?

Are we really looking at someone who is going to tell you, "What, you didn't give him any water?"
To which you can say, "He liked soda better."

Hi,

it's quite the same situation with the adjectives, for having enough eaten you say "being full" (I've also read fully or even fullly), but there is no adjective for having drunken enough, at least there's only "to be drunk" for alcoholic drinks.

In germany we have the adjective to be "satt" meaning to have eaten enough, but there is also no adjective for having drunken enough, despite of being "betrunken" which means the same as being drunk.

Bye, Olaf.

 

[KenCunningham]

Perhaps 'slaked my thirst' might be regarded as having drunk enough of the non-alcoholic variety?

I don't mind people who aren't what they seem. I just wish they'd make their mind up.
