Your neighbour needs to see these people -

"Support group for people who have Febrile Convulsion and Erection Problems, created by eHealthMe eHealthMe - Personalized health information " :shock:

I can only suggest to Alan, mrs.dr.ron.

Seriously though, Google search shows this:

I must admit I hadn't heard of this word.
 
Foreigner - You must live in The Rocks then? :p
 
Febrile is basically the medical term for having a fever.In the definition you found foreigner note the word delirious.If you are delirious you may make decisions you would never otherwise make.
Hence mrsdrron's asking of JohnK-are you febrile?
 
I don't speak English as well as I would like. All those English classes spend staring... ahm.. :oops::oops::oops:
 
At the danger of being on-topic, I find 3K to be quite a lot better than JQ (AU Domestic especially).

This extends to both the crew, and the self-loading cargo.
 
Obviously then you are not in the medical field ;)

At school, I leaned towards the arts, not the sciences though chemistry was a favourite.

I especially liked English as a second language. BTW...here's another sentence with febrile:

Alan's wife's febrile condition caused her to experience chills and hot flashes.

Thanks drron. I reacted to Cove's post without reading what was written prior.

That's not a compliment is it?

Depends of perspective and outlook, given the ugliness of english I imagine it could very well be considered a compliment.

But it is a reference to another famous english word learning experience for most of Australia.
 
Or had kids.

That's your assumption.



<Assume and presume both mean to take something for granted as true (among their many other definitions). The difference is in the degree of certainty. A presumption is usually more authoritative than an assumption. To presume is to make an informed guess based on reasonable evidence, while to assume is to make a guess based on little or no evidence.>
 
Thanks for expanding my vocabulary mrs.dr.ron !
Can you put febrile into a working sentence?


Tony Abbott did this - or was it Julie Bishop or some other member of Abbott's palace guard just before his demise in September last year...as in "there was a "febrile" mood in the party room."
