Vim and vigor

Beyond the fact that "vim" just sounds great as a word, and I include it in my Top 10 list of all-time best-sounding words (along with "multiplicative"), I nominate vim for The Other Style Council's unofficial list of Words We Love To Hate, for its particularly roundabout definition as "vigor." That's right, kids. Vim means vigor.

And I quote American Heritage: Vim. Ebullient vitality and energy. See synonyms at vigor.

Lyrics to the Michigan State University Fight Song:

On the banks of the Red Cedar,
There's a school that's known to all;
Its specialty is winning,
And those Spartans play good ball;
Spartan teams are never beaten,
All through the game they'll fight;
Fight for the only colors:
Green and White.

Go right through for MSU,
Watch the points keep growing,
Spartan teams are bound to win,
They're fighting with a VIM.
Rah! Rah! Rah!
See their team is weakening,
We're going to win this game,
Fight! Fight! Rah! Team, Fight!
Victory for MSU!

From iVillage GardenWeb:

Just came back from a nursery near me and found 4 nice plants I didn't have! I got Queen Josephine,Tequila Sunrise,Vim and Vigor,and Zippety Doo Dah. I also found some good news! Bob Solberg will be there for an open house at Rux Gardens,near Waynesvile,NC on June 3rd! Vim and Vigor is a sport of Sum and Sub,and Zippety Doo Dah is a sport of Abba Dabba Do.

Zippety doo dah is not the name of a plant.

This will give you an idea on the reputation of the

to create much finer threads in order to increase the amount
of threads in a square inch (keeping in mind that they don't also increase the ply). Among Pakistan newspapers, the best-studied papers are not always those from the nation's capital.
