tell me, will you ever use these words in your life? - GoFuckYourself.com

Cassie · 07-27-2003, 01:58 PM

1. Defenestrate: "throw somebody or something out of window: to throw something or somebody out of a window (formal or humorous)"

It is quite entertaining to defenestrate paper airplanes.
2. Garbology: "study of waste materials: the study of a cultural group by an examination of what it discards"

Garbology might be a good career choice for dumpster divers. Recycling may make the job of future garbologists extremely difficult--they'll have less to study.

3. Digerati: "computer experts: people who have or claim to have a sophisticated expertise in the area of computers, the Internet, and the World Wide Web"

Not too long ago, computer expertise was considered nerdy. These days, many people strive to be among the digerati.

4. Antipodes:
1. "places at opposite sides of world: places at opposite sides of the world from each other, or the areas at the side of the world opposite from a given place"
2. "opposites: two points, places, or things that are diametrically opposite each other"

One could say that Arthur "Fonzie" Fonzarelli and Warren "Potsie" Weber are antipodes.

5. Hallux: "first digit on the foot: the big toe on the human foot, or the first digit on the hind foot of some mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians (technical)"

The ballerina had her hallux insured for $10 million!

6. Otiose:
1. "not effective: with no useful result or practical purpose"
2. "worthless: with little or no value"
3. "lazy: unwilling or uninterested in working or being active (archaic)"

Will e-mail render traditional letter writing otiose? Let's hope not.

7. Cullet: "glass to be recycled: broken or waste glass returned for recycling"

Don't forget to take the cullet out to the curbside, and be sure to put it next to the trash, not in it.

8. Pellucid:
1. "clear in meaning: easy to understand or clear in meaning (formal)"
2. "transparent: allowing all or most light to pass through (literary)"

The police officer's warning was pellucid: drivers must go the speed limit in the school zone.

9. Borborygmus: "stomach rumble: the rumbling sounds made by the movement of gases in the stomach and intestine (technical)"

If you lay your head on someone's stomach, you are likely to hear borborygmus.

10. Embrangle: "perplex somebody: to confuse, perplex, or entangle somebody or something (archaic)"

As Lord Needlebottom attempted to explain the rules of cricket, his American friends became more and more embrangled.

Mmm, new words! And all this time I thought "Cullet" was a funny looking hairstyle popular with Canadians.

Adult Site Traffic · 07-27-2003, 02:08 PM

As an elite member of the digerati, I am quite embrangled as to which would be the most pellucid.

However, I think I am rather drawn to garbology.

I'm quite confident in the fact that, after 54 years, those words will never find their way into my vocabulary.

boobmaster · 07-27-2003, 08:00 PM

Antipodes

This word was derived from the indo-european root 'ped', which ment 'foot'. At one point in the history of English it was apparently used to refer to someone with opposite feet. Over time the meaning extended to cover any two extremes in bi-polar oppisition to one another.

The phrase 'the Antipodes of Otiose' is being used as a subject complement. Subject complements must agree in number with the subject and verb. You either need to make the subject complement singular (e.g., you are the Antipode of Otiose) OR you need to make the subject AND the verb plural (e.g., you and the word 'Otiose' are Antipodes of each other).

This could well be the most useless post I have ever made on GFY.
