#toastmasters — Public Fediverse posts

I was always told that Dutch people have a tendency to make a verb out of many words, a practice my #English speaking friends didn't really understand. Or appreciate.
"Speeching" was a common word in Dutch #Toastmasters clubs, for example. I remember them not being too keen on "biking" as well.

Now my puzzle has the word "pogromed"?
And last week, #CrackingTheCryptic used "I don't want to be scylla-and-charybdised"?

It's contest season at Toastmasters. Last night my club had our Table Topics contest. I won first place, therefore going through to Area level (date TBA).

I also filled a gap in the agenda with an improvised presentation on "What Toastmasters can learn from Auslan". List buoys (the linguists' term for listing things on your fingers), facial expression, and role shift can enhance a speech.

10 years ago yesterday I broke my arm, skiing (on day 1 of the trip 🫣). During the recovery phase I found Toastmasters, which significantly changed my communication style and life.

I also concluded that good, clean&healthy nutrition and healing go well together: The doctors first considered an operation within 10 days, but when they saw day-7's healing state going vastly beyond their expectation and experience, they didn't want to operate any more.
