The Wing-Nut Trifecta

[Chris]

Glad to see strides forward in your attention to detail .
Trifecta has not magically appeared ( sounds like a cleaning fluid ) but you could use any of the following in the right context
Trilateral
Trinity
Triumvir
Triumvirate
Triune
As long as you don't allege that the three engage in Troilism .
Don't pester the old codger with all this information . Let him continue using , three .

Except you missed the smilie and the Oxford English Dictionary (http://oxforddictionaries.com/defini...cta?q=trifecta) definition:

trifecta
Pronunciation: /trʌɪˈfɛktə/

Definition of trifecta
noun
North American & Australian/NZ
a bet in which the person betting forecasts the first three finishers in a race in the correct order.
[in singular] a run of three wins or grand events:
he will attempt a trifecta of the long jump, triple jump, and 110-meter high hurdles
Origin:

1970s: from tri- 'three' + perfecta

So much for attention to detail.

Hopefully she gets well fast, and testifies in an open hearing about the Benghazi failure.

She'll get better, but somehow, miraculously, she will have lost all memory of Sept 11, 2012...

Where was she on September 1, 2012 ... ?

Is there something about Benghazi? One of the symptoms of concussion can be partial memory loss.

Correction: Triumvirate! Trifecta is not an English word!! Just check the Oxford English Dictionary!!!

Yes. It was a joke. About a week ago someone used trifecta in a post and carygrant raised bloody hell the correct word was triumvirate and trifecta was not an English word. My post was tongue-in-cheek.

I miss nothing .
That you have a limited and special edition for Americans is understandable . But I know what's in the OED because I use it most days .
You just can't contemplate--- let alone bare --- the idea that there are people who can eat you for breakfast whilst multi tasking several other matters simultaneously .

There may very well be but you're certainly not one of them.

See, this is what I mean about you singing words together but not making sense. What you refer to as American is http://oxforddictionaries.com/defini...cta?q=trifecta, which is published by Oxford University Press. What you call limited is less limited than their OED since it includes trifecta.

For the rest you simply trail off in a wall of babel.

Where was she on September 1, 2012 ... ?

I wasn't aware that any other embassies or American were attacked on Sept 1st. Is that date somehow significant to you?
