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.

We could have some fun with a signature of mine which purposely slides by those who dont know their vocabulary.

"I think I like you. But dont go thinking that makes me homogeneous or anything. Im strictly heterogeneous."

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Pronounced, "in SO shunt"? </font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Very close...more like "in SOO shunt" The "O" is long. That might have been what you meant though, couldn't tell http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif
