A Word I Don’t Grasp Yet.
Where is a woman’s ‘YET’? And what is it? This is a word I often use, but it would now appear that I use it incorrectly all along;
if one can believe the newspapers.I have tried several dictionaries, but the explanations offered do not make any sense to me at all; given the context of the sentence. With me not knowing much about women and English being only a second language to me, I need some help here.
I have encountered the word in a newspaper report this morning about a failed attempt to rob a bank in Cape Town. A female police officer was wounded during the shootout with the robbers.
The newspaper reported as follows:
Her condition is stable, but the bullet has not been removed from YET.
So if the bullet is still to be removed from her YET, then I think it is reasonable to assume that she was shot in her YET.
If anybody can, please tell me: Where is a woman’s YET? I know for a fact that I do not have a YET.
Friendly greetings all round.

Not your middle name this time. You were seen wearing a hat in a hat-free area. We are considering some disciplinary action against you.
Mind you, I should also wear a hat to hide my bald.
i wear a hat to hide my hair. still black...YET (good genetics, from my father side)...
Brains under a hat? That is a very small hat.
No gentleman around here at all.
Your secret is safe; I will not tell anybody.
I love playing with numbers. I always said mathematics is magic, but lately I have discovered words play just as easy - and it does not have to add up!
