Well, the battery charger had me stymied, so I did what I always do--gave the damn thing to Raf. And guess what! HE was stymied, too.
So now I have to take it back to Radio Shack and hope the nice lady can show me (as she did yesterday--a fact I didn't mention to Raf....)
Nor can I tell you where the word comes from. Origin unknown, says the dictionary.
However I did learn something--stymie is a golf term, as well as an obstruction. Well and good. It's when the opponent's ball is in the line of play.
Great, but I don't play golf, dammit!
