Default Re: OT- Word of the day.

Well, a ballet would require more than one dancer; therefore, I should ask you to perform an arabesque with myself (I would indeed be quite annoyed should you say "yes").

Hierophant (pronouncation would probably be roughly the same one as in Ancient Greek; I cannot decipher the "how to say it" part of dictionary.com definition though). It would literally mean something such as "Someone showing the holy".

1) Originally a title for Greek priests in mystery cults, especially the Eleusinian mysteries.
2) By extension, someone interpreting mysteries or arcane knowledge.
