The Flood / Verb's Words of the Day (#1)« on: June 10, 2015, 07:35:09 PM »
I just had a fun idea: Why don't I start making word-of-the-day threads? I love the English language (as stupid as it is), because there seems to be a word for just about everything. Learning new words is fun, and so is eventually getting to use one in a sentence. I think so, anyway. I try to learn new words every day, and as a result, I have a pretty decent vocabulary, and a couple of people here have taken note of that. So I figured, why don't I pass down some of my knowledge?
Here are the words I've chosen: Salubrious - /suh - LOO - bree - uhs/ [salubriously] [salubriousness] [salubrity] Derived from the Latin salus, meaning "health". This one's one of my favorites. Salubrious--it's when something is healthy, or conducive to good health: A salubrious diet is one that will involve fruits and vegetables. It can also be used to describe a generally positive or fortuitous outcome, but this is more uncommon: hours of studying language has proven to be a salubrious endeavor. Defenestrate - /dee - FEH - neh - strayt/ [defenestration] [defenestrating] [defenestrates] [defenestrated] [defenestrater] Derived from the Latin de, meaning "down from", and fenestra, "window" A couple of you may have seen me use this one before. Defenestration is the act of forcibly throwing something (or someone) out of a window: After a drunken squabble at the local bar, the ruffian was promptly defenestrated by his adversary. Definitely not a word to be used in any formal context, but can create a humorous atmosphere when need be: Suffering his sixteenth "game over" in a row, the child was primed to defenestrate his brother's Xbox One. Fremdschämen - /FREM(d) - shay - min/ Derived from the German fremd, meaning "strange" or "external", and schamen, meaning "to be ashamed" Here's a beautiful German word I thought I'd steal for the moment. We've all heard of schadenfreude, which translates roughly to the pleasure you derive from the misfortune of others (laughing at someone when they trip and fall is schadenfreude). Here is a word that basically means the opposite sensation. Fremdschämen is essentially secondhand embarrassment, or the empathetic sensation you feel when you see someone embarrass themselves or do something awkward in public--something that's cringeworthy. Since it's indeed a German word, I don't exactly know how to use it in an English sentence properly, but I could take a guess, and anyone who knows German could help me out: The class internally erupted out of total fremdschämen for the weird kid who gave a PowerPoint presentation on his favorite anime. All right, that's all for today. I hope you learned something. I probably won't do these every single day (but who knows--I don't have much of a life at the moment), but we'll see. I hope this wasn't too weird--I'm just trying something new, and hopefully it works out. What do you think, though? Is this lame and stupid? Is this awesome? Should I never do it again? I probably will anyway. This was a lot of fun to make, and I got vocabulary words for days. Uh, so let me know. 37088

Serious / Re: Lord Jamar on transgenderism« on: June 10, 2015, 02:55:59 PM »According to MM, you're a bigot if you find them grossI don't think that's what he said. I also find gay sex to be gross--if I didn't, I wouldn't be straight. That's... the whole idea behind not being gay, is that you don't find that sort of thing sexually appealing. It's normal. It's not bigotry--it's preference. The issue I have with you is that you're not just expressing preference. You're being a cockhead. 37097
