Today's word is ostrobogulous, credit Young Sheldon.
If anyone knew what this word means they would have used it on me long ago.
-
I've only used that word once, and it was to describe a strange porn I saw many years ago ...
-
Today's word is - perambulate -
per·am·bu·late
"walk or travel through or around a place or area, especially for pleasure and in a leisurely way."
Only because I just heard it for the first fucking time. How The Fuck is that possible. LOL
-
Right ....
Once again, one I've used maybe once previously ...
How about this one?
solecism
Definition
1 : an ungrammatical combination of words in a sentence; also : a minor blunder in speech
2 : something deviating from the proper, normal, or accepted order
3 : a breach of etiquette or decorum
Did You Know?
The city of Soloi had a reputation for bad grammar. Located in Cilicia, an ancient coastal nation in Asia Minor, it was populated by Athenian colonists called soloikoi (literally "inhabitants of Soloi"). According to historians, the colonists of Soloi allowed their native Athenian Greek to be corrupted and started using words incorrectly. As a result, soloikos gained a new meaning: "speaking incorrectly." The Greeks used that sense as the basis of soloikismos, meaning "an ungrammatical combination of words." That root, in turn, gave rise to the Latin soloecismus, the direct ancestor of the English word solecism. Nowadays, solecism can refer to social blunders as well as sloppy syntax.
I've almost suggested it be called a "SIecism" previously in the life of AS/LG ...
-
I've been guilty of that but haven't heard it used before.
I have a new one I just heard today.
Psychopomps
"guide of souls
Psychopomps (from the Greek word ψυχοπομπός, psychopompós, literally meaning the 'guide of souls') are creatures, spirits, angels, or deities in many religions whose responsibility is to escort newly deceased souls from Earth to the afterlife."
-
I've heard that word once, years ago, in a horror movie;
I can't remember which one ...
-
I heard a new one,
Intumescence

"1. pathology

2. pathology

Reminds me of "Locutus of Borg"
-
There's a term I've not heard in a while ...
-
Hmmmm ....
The longest word in the English language is 189,819 letters long and would take three and a half hours to say. If you have three and a half hours free here's a link to the word: TITIN - Pastebin.com (https://pastebin.com/wkKH8xD8) ...
-
If that's a real word somebody must have been taking the piss that day.
Lots of fragments used over and over and no meaning offered?
I'm a bit skeptical.
Google says,
"pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis" is the longest word in any dictionary. = silicosis caused by volcano dust.
-
I thought that too ....
It's still a funny read ...
So, what's today's word?
-
Todays word is "Dood"
>>dood (uncountable) death; the act of dying. the dead; something that is no longer alive. (figurative) a complete loss.<<
Wiktionary
-
Hmmmmm ....
Ok ...
-
Ha I felt the same way.
-
Yeah, I feel "meh" about it ....

You probably know these.

-
So strange young woman from the past, where did you last hear that word?
I keep a ferociously gay assortment of index cards cataloging fabulous vocabulary words bc I am insufferable, and obviously I get words of the day both emailed to me and as a widget on my phone as, again--insufferable. Think this was a recent one!
And I had fun parsing "so strange young woman from the past," I was like so, strange young woman from the past, and then so strange, young woman from the past, and then I fixated on the strange young woman and was like, THAT'S RIGHT LILAH YOU A STRANGE YUNG WOMAN YOU BETTER GET THE FUCK UP AND PUT ON A BRA BEFORE YOU GON NEED ONE, AND UH HUH FREE MEEK ON THAT STEREO HONEY SO YOU CAN STOP SAYING "chuuuuurch" INSIDE YR OWN HEAD ALL DAY, GO BRUSH YR TEETH, WE GONNA WRITE THREE COVER LETTERS TODAY, YOU WILL BE TOUCHED TENDERLY AGAIN SOME DAY, DEATH IS COMING, DEATH IS COMING, DEATH IS COMING

Noun: -The feeling of roughness caused by a new undergarment. -The uncomfortable feeling of wearing new underwear
-
Hahahahaha

-
Hey Lilah (asumption) in your post you mentioned free Meeks.
I looked up the "Free Meek" issue and that SOB should spend five years in prison, he got a very lenient sentence on his original charge, and then he violated his parole OVER AND FUCKING OVER. Wherever legal shit he is going through now is entirely his own doing. So if that story is what you were referencing then now you know how I feel about that bullshit.

Hey, he killed a dozen babies, but they clearly attacked him first!
-
rapaciousness
"1. Having or showing a strong or excessive desire to acquire money or possess things; greedy: "dishonest utilities and rapacious energy traders" (Paul Roberts). 2. Living by killing prey, especially in large numbers: rapacious coyotes."
Heard it in a show about how a gang of otters can take down monkeys, alligators and other creatures easily.
-
Yeah, it's amazing who can take down what in numbers in the animal kingdom ...
-
Almost worth a horror movie.
People being swamped by a tribe of wild otters while swimming near popular beaches, rivers whatever, it's a classic concept. And a bit gruesome to think about.
-
Sharknado!
-
I guess otternado wouldn't have the same impact.
Acquisitiveness
ac·quis·i·tive·ness
/əˈkwizidivnəs/
excessive interest in acquiring money or material things.
"this aggressive merchandising encourages acquisitiveness among children".

Hey Lilah (asumption) in your post you mentioned free Meeks.

Polyphagia
"Polyphagia, also known as hyperphagia, is the medical term for excessive or extreme hunger. It's different than having an increased appetite after exercise or other physical activity. While your hunger level will return to normal after eating in those cases, polyphagia won't go away if you eat more food."
-
There was a CSI episode about that ....
-
I would bet there is!
You'd think such a person would eat himself to death in short order but apparently not. It seems their digestive tract evolves to handle the massive quantities!
I watched a video recently, see if I can find it.
-
It's more their voracity that is the issue ...
They can be quite violent if they don't get the required food ...
... and if they are "special needs" (outside of that condition) it only exasperates both potential situations
(which is what happened in that CSI episode)
-
Voracity Hahaha,
One of the guys on the video I watched ate a 14 month old baby, and that was after they chased him out of the morgue. The baby got him physically chased from the facility, somehow he got away.

This thread seems terminated if we don't respond with our own observations!
I bet there are hundreds of "word of the day" sites. Lots of shit to pick from. Just make it random.
Looses something I would say. All of the words I have posted I have recently heard in videos and googled them or remembered them. Sometimes I have an 'instinctual' grasp (perhaps imaginary) of if it would be interesting to anyone else, but I don't search lists and shit for new words just to fucking post.
-
Meh, longest word. I've seen a couple, some simply are nonsense. Made up meaning to get recognition.

I've tried to break that one down logically and I've failed every time ...
I though maybe it was based upon something concrete of a real "root" of a word/words ...
It's about as legit as "hum-diddle-diddle-diddle, hum-diddle-aye!" (even though all three that make it up are actual English words) ...
-
Yeah back in the day (60's) I could say it with ease, but it was only cool because it was complete nonsense.
