on the know

What Chicago mobsters and wanna-bes say when referring to someone who is privy to or has inside knowledge of mob business. Such individuals are said to be "on the know." It means basically the same thing as "in the know" but only in reference to rackets.

Guy #3: Good, good.

know

in Biblical times, it meant to sleep with someone. you will see the word used in the Bible to mean that.

God: "Abe, you knew your maidwoman as well as Sarah? And she gave birth to that bastard of yours, Ishmael?"

Abraham (boasting his double scoring): "Yep, God. My sons are Isaac and Ishmael."

knowing

I love you without knowing how,
or when, or from where.
I love you simply without problems or pride,
i love you in this way because i do not know any other of loving but this,
In which there is no I or you,
So intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand,
So intimate that when i fall asleep
your eyes close.

....knowing

what a lovely message
