Concensus???

Mr.Spelling's head just exploded!
I done would of thunked it had been done explosioned previously by Juulliiee''ss previous use of "non-chalantly". [/B]
"Non-chalant" is the negative prefix "non" attached to the Old French word "chalant"- which is the present participle of the verb "chaloir",which means "to be concerned". Thus, you end up with "unconcerned" as a meaning of the word "non-chalant".

I thought everyone knew that! [/B][/QUOTE]

I know what it means, and from whence it is derived.

I just don't think the word has a hyphen in it.
