Only on the Internet. In real life I've got culture, maturity, and erudition erupting in torrential jets from my ass.
Thank you? Please note my subtle usage of mid-syllable alliteration in my word choices here: Soft U's colored by melancholy L's and harder T's in just the right phonic ratio, ostensibly climbing to the crescendo of: which isn't a crescendo at all. But I think it threads the needle between the juvenile and the sophomoric in a sneaky, offbeat kind of way.
Homer, I am amazed. I had no idea you could keep a donkey in Rhode Island. There are many euphemisms for the male member, including 'tool', 'wood' and even 'carrot'. I used to wonder why some men were so obsessed with it, but no longer. It's because Nudity is Funny. (WARNING: TV Tropes link, click at your own peril) =P Here's another word of the day: Jenny Greenteeth (a.k.a. Wicked Jenny, Ginny Greenteeth and Grinteeth) is a figure in English folklore. A river-hag, she would pull children or the elderly into the water and drown them. The name is also used to describe pondweed or duckweed, which can form a continuous mat over the surface of a small body of water, making it misleading and potentially treacherous, especially to unwary children. With this meaning, the name is common around Liverpool and southwest Lancashire. There are similar figures in other cultures, e.g. the Rusalka in Slavic mythology.
This isn't too odd of a word, but I love "antiquary" -- one who studies and collects antiques. It feels like such an old fashioned, romantic word. Then there's "foraminifera" -- a type of single celled organisms. Fimbul-Winter -- the long, bitter winter preceding the end of the world.
Since we're discussing Norse mythology, here are some words I'd like to add: Ginnungagap (pron. 'ginnun-ga-gap', c. Old Norse -- "gaping abyss", "yawning void"). The primordial, magical void from which everything sprung up. Mentioned in three poems from the Poetic Edda and the Gylfaginning, the Eddaic text recording Norse cosmogony. Branstock. A great oak in the Hall of of the Volsungs. Into it, Odin thrust the sword Gram, which only Sigmund could draw forth. Glaðsheimr (or Glathsheim, "Glad home"). The hall of gods in Asgard. A realm in Asgard where Odin's hall of Valhalla is located. Yggdrasil (from Old Norse Yggdrasill). The giant ash tree springing from body of Ymir and supporting the universe. Its roots are extended to Asgard, Jötunheimr (or Jotunheim), and Niflheim. Sorry if you're familiar with these. I love Norse mythology. There are always new things to learn.
According to Aristotle's Poetics, literary tragedies must include the following elements: hamartia - the protagonist's tragic flaw anagnorisis - a tragic hero's change of heart (usually too late) peripeteia - a reversal of the tragic hero's fortune; the turning point toward tragedy catharsis - the release of emotions for the audience of a tragedy https://www.yourdictionary.com/articles/examples-tragedy-literature-film-real-life
I haven't forgotten them, but can't reproduce them or Spanish diacritics on my lap top. Just imagine they're there.
There's a control alt function for the umlauts. I forget which, but I had to write kolsch with the umlaut earlier. Great success!
The Spanish version works on my desktop which has the sidebar numbers. It won't work with the numbers across the top of the keyboard, and that's all my laptop has. If you know a different way to do this, I am all ears. Well, eyes, since I'm reading this.
You mean this? Götterdämmerung. I did this simply by googling the term and then doing a copy-pasta from wikipedia.
surfaris noun A journey made by surfers in search of good conditions for surfing or to visit several beaches suitable for surfing.
Dysania. The state of finding it extremely difficult to get out of bed in the morning. *throws a pillow at the alarm clock*
<--- 'Senior Member' always gets me. Speaking of members, for accismus see also: The Cock and the Jewel.
I just had a look at "The Cock and the Jewel" (a parable by Aesop). It doesn't sound like a type of accismus; the cockerel is scratching about for something to eat, and finds a precious gemstone instead. From wikipedia; I'm not sure that is accismus. I would prefer the legend of the fox and the grapes. It goes as follows (translation by the ancient Roman Phaedrus): That sounds more like it.
Gleek/Gleeking a type of spitting that usually occurs while yawning (slow day at work and i yawned, spraying spit across my desktop. so naturally, i googled what this is called and why it happens. apparently sometime during big yawns, the glands under your tongue constrict and squeeze out the spit. some people can gleek at will. but you cant gleek again until those glands refill)
