I learned a new word today

[Emperor Inferno]

On topic: Sadism: the act of deriving pleasure from causing pain to others, either for physical gratification or enjoyment.

For the win. All that needs to be said.

I'll do ya one better: Sadomasochism- the condition of drawing pleasure from causing pain to others and also from having pain caused to onesself.

As one who very definitely prefers to be on top, I like my sadism. However, if the other person is a sadomasochist, all the more fun for them.

How is that fun? That's saying punch me in the sack while I punch you in the face. It'll be heaps fun!!

Sadism=good

masochism=super-creepy

sadomasochism=supra-creepy

Cookie for the person who gets the reference.

oh ya! Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis.........its the name of some kind of disease

my latin isn't all the way up to scratch, but i would hazard a guess and say its a disease of the lungs, possibly caused by inhaling foregn particles

It's Ancient Greek, and it's the inflammation of the lungs due to inhalation of microscopic particles of silica, it's a complicated word for a "simple" fact.

Ancient Greek? The word was invented in 1935 by Everett M. Smith president of the National Puzzlers' League, at its annual meeting. (according to Wiki) Which does make perfect sense.

I saw your picture. If it ever happens link it somewhere on this site.

All I have in the way of assholes getting beaten up is skaters V jocks, good but predictable, specially with only two outcomes.

The Defenestration of Prague is an important historical even in the European Religious wars. Funny story actually: in Bohemia, there was a confrontation between Catholics and Protestants in this building ending with the local important Catholic guy getting tossed out the window.

Here's where the story gets funny. According to Catholic reports, he was carried down from the height by angels. Protestants say he was saved by a conveniently placed pile of manure.

Either way, it ignited a bigger problem.

From what I've heard, there's actually a decent amount of literature on the symbolic importance of defenestration as opposed to other methods of execution.

That little story that makes up a lot of the background for Pulp Fiction is about Tony Rocky Horror's defenestration.

Cool stuff!

How is that a new word?

 

[Syntax Error]

T.I.P.T.I.M.M. "No, I actually referred to you as a homosexual proving you are as your first reaction upon finding out that I knew was to try to have sex with me, mainly your attempts to 'fuck me', propositioning one of the same gender for sex, proving that indeed you are gay. You can thank me for helping you come out later."

That was epic.

@topic:
Since we can include Latin phrases now.:
Quid-pro-quo : something for something. Kinda like "I owe you, you owe me". Or "I do something for you, you do something for me".

 

[Zallest]

A lot of these words are...interesting but I'd feel silly saying any of these in a real conversation...

"Oh my! listen to that Tintinnabulation"

"....What?"

 

[Alex_P]

"Tintinnabulation" displeases me.

It's like someone decided to take all the beauty out of a wonderful (Latin) onomatopoeia by burying it in suffixes.

Defenestrate: throw out a window

"Porangahau (in New Zealand's North Island) is a unique coastal experience and is famous for it's seafood. Located just 44 kms from Waipukurau, it also boasts the longest place name in the world:

Tetaumatawhakatangihangakoauaotamateaurehaeaturipukapihimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuaakitanarahu"

I love stupidly long words.

Also, I can pronouce it. Really. My dad taught me... :-/

My favourite word is Onomatopoeia, I just love how it sounds and how it rolls off the tongue.

Some people are freaks that way. And no, I don't get the reference. It rings a bell, but that's it. Can I still have a cookie though? I love cookies =)

Ooh, ooh! On the subject of food, here's another one: Sautee. I know it's not obscure or unknown, but I just love that word. No idea why, really......

 

[molesgallus]

Language is my passion. Let me share some useful words from the top of my head.

Geriatriscendence: The wisdom of old age, usually involving a lessened sense of self and a greater awareness of the world beyond the self.

Humanism: The belief that humanity is the closest thing to God.

Vnenakhodnimost: Twosomeness; being two contradictory things or possessing two conflicting qualities at the same time. (Russian.)

Lagom: the middle ground between mediocre and good, just about perfect if you don't want actual perfection, neither good nor bad, the quantum average that's always approaching above average but never quite there, so-so but pretty good, almost three-quarters awesome. (Swedish.)

Neurotypical syndrome: A neurobiological disorder characterized by preoccupation with social concerns, delusions of superiority, and obsession with conformity. NTs are often intolerant of seemingly minor differences in others. When in groups NTs are socially and behaviorally rigid, and frequently insist upon the performance of dysfunctional, destructive, and even impossible rituals as a way of maintaining group identity. Tragically, as many as 9625 out of every 10,000 individuals may be neurotypical.

Words are fun! Shinies for anyone that can accurately use all of the above in a coherent single sentence

Adumbrately, the master ninja elucidated to his sycophantic apprentices the value of obfuscating one's presence to even the most impecunious witnesses.

Do I get more shinies for using them in the same order you said them? :3

 

[maffro]

Gerontophile Somebody who "really" likes old people.

No,really. I just like the way it rolls of your tongue. Gerontophile.

And I like the way an old person rolls onto mine.

....oh god. I'm so sorry. I'll leave.
