meaning of pitch-dark, brief whirl-wind #1 (permalink) Sun Feb 11, 2007 7:54 am   meaning of pitch-dark, brief whirl-wind		  
His longest fight lasted from dusk until almost pitch-dark, one Sunday. It was fought in East Main Street in Columbus with a large, snarly nondescript. When Rex finally got his ear grip, the brief whirl-wind snarling turned to screeching. It was frightening to listen to and to watch.

Please explain the bold words.

In your past two posts, you have asked about many words that you can find yourself very easily in a dictionary. I recommend these two:

Brief means short. Whirlwind means tornado.
