Narf, when you posted a new day here it was not where I live. Looking at your profile you are from CHEESE and I wondered how many hours are in a day on CHEESE.

Re: OT- Word of the day.
Well, doesn't look like we had a word of the day yet today, so here's one from me http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
Androgynous Now is there anyone who knows what it means?? (Without looking in the dictionary!! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif ) |
Re: OT- Word of the day.
IIRC it means you can't tell the gender. Or is genderless, one of the two.

Re: OT- Word of the day.
Androgynous means has aspects of both genders, or appears as the opposite sex. Bishamen in Anime are Androgynous as they look like women even though they are male. Someone born with both types of Genitalia may be androgynous*. If you are familiar with Warhammer, Slaanesh is androgynous.
edit:* actually this would be a Hemaphrodite. [ July 26, 2004, 14:02: Message edited by: Randallw ] |

Re: OT- Word of the day.
Lan: "Trompe" should not be too difficult to pronounce, but "l'oeil" is another matter. I think it is likely one of the hardest words to pronounce correctly. I don't know much about phonetics, but it should be vaguely as: "leuïl", with a certain stress on the "i". As soon as I get back my "how to say it" program, I will try to get a closer approximation.
Besides this, my own contribution will be "Floccinaucinihilipilification". Not only is this word fairly long, but it also means "the act of judging someone or something as worthless". You could argue it was created for the sake of making a very long word though, so that might disqualify it for competing in "Word of the day". At any rate, it should be a fun design name for my next warship, and will likely annoying the player(s) facing it to no end. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif |
