³you may not be able to describe it, but you know it when you read it²
... Mon dieu...what does that mean...?...
...inability to analize/interpret maybe...or just simply inability to
denote/connote...i.e. explicit/represent...
I havenıt heard this anywhere but in sports columns mand fan comments and I
faith-fully read most soccer ones in The Guardian UK...
...and I do believe that there is such a line in the Cantona movie made by
Ken Loach...please somebody who has seen it confirm...???
